RULE 3.8
                     DISPOSITION HEARING

     (a) Time. If a juvenile has been found to be dependent,
the court shall hold a disposition hearing. If the
disposition hearing does not immediately follow the
factfinding hearing, notice of the continued hearing shall
be given to all parties in accordance with RCW 13.34.110.
     (b) Informing Parties of Purpose of Hearing. The court
shall inform the parties of the purpose of the hearing. The
court shall inform the parties of the new status of the
juvenile as a result of the finding of dependency.
     (c) Evidence. The court shall consider the social file,
social study, and other appropriate predisposition studies,
in addition to information produced at the factfinding and
disposition hearings. Any party shall have the right to be
heard at the disposition hearing. Any social file, social
study, or predisposition study shall be made available for
inspection by a party or his or her lawyer for a reasonable
time prior to the disposition hearing.
     (d) Submission of Agency Plan. If the agency plan
referred to in RCW 13.34.130(3) is not submitted to the
court at the time of the disposition hearing, it shall be
filed with the court and distributed to all parties within
30 days after the disposition hearing.
     (e) Transferring Legal Custody. A disposition which
orders removal of the juvenile from his or her home shall
have the effect of transferring legal custody to the agency
or custodian charged with the juvenile's care. The transfer
of legal custody shall give the legal custodian the
following rights and duties:
     (1) To maintain the physical custody of the juvenile;
     (2) To protect, train, and discipline the juvenile;
     (3) To provide food, clothing, shelter, education as
required by law, and routine medical care for a juvenile;
and
     (4) To consent to emergency medical and surgical care
and to sign a release of medical information to appropriate
authorities, pursuant to law.
     The court may, in its disposition order, modify the
rights and duties granted to the legal custodian as a result
of the transfer of legal custody.
