§ 502-a. Day  placement.  1.  Definition. "Day placement" shall mean a   program for youth placed with the division which is an alternative to or   includes a period of residential placement. Such program  shall  require   the  youth  to  adhere  to  conditions  of  participation  and to attend   programs on certain days or during certain periods of days, or both,  as   specified by the director.2.  Authorization  for  day  placement.  The director is authorized to   establish day placement programs for eligible youth as  defined  by  the   director,  pursuant  to  the  rules and regulations of the division. The   director's decision to allow a youth to participate in the day placement   program shall be discretionary. As a part of day placement, the director   shall impose conditions of participation upon the youth. Such conditions   may  include  but  shall  not  be  limited  to  community,  educational,   vocational,  recreational  and  treatment  services; evening and weekend   reporting programs; alternative educational  programs;  and  periods  of   residential placement.3.  Use  of  day  placement.  The  director, pursuant to the rules and   regulations of the division, may approve a day  placement  in  any  case   where  the  court  has  ordered  placement with the division pursuant to   section 353.3 of the family court act.4. Duration of day placement. The duration of a day placement  may  be   for  the  same  period  of  placement  imposed  by the court pursuant to   section 353.3 of the family court act. The term of the  placement  shall   commence on the day it is imposed and shall be calculated upon the basis   of  the  duration  of  its  term, rather than upon the basis of the days   spent in residential placement, so that no youth  shall  be  subject  to   placement  for  a  period  that  is  longer  than  the initial period of   placement, unless an extension is granted pursuant to section  355.3  of   the family court act.5.  Interruption of placement. Consistent with the rule and regulation   of the division, in any case where  a  youth  fails  to  report  to  the   facility  or  program  specified  by the director, the term of placement   shall be interrupted and such  interruption  shall  continue  until  the   youth  reports  to  such facility or program or is otherwise returned to   the custody of the division.6. Modification or termination of day placement. It  shall  be  within   the  discretion  of  the  director  to  modify  or  terminate  a youth's   participation in day placement at any time.  If  the  day  placement  is   terminated  the  youth  shall  be  immediately  placed  in a residential   facility consistent with the court order.7. Release and discharge. Decisions  of  the  director  regarding  day   placement  pursuant  to  this  section  or  any  conditional  release or   discharge pursuant to sections  five  hundred  ten-a  and  five  hundred   hundred  ten-c  of  this article shall be deemed a judicial function and   shall not be reviewable if done in accordance with law.
