(1) A board of county commissioners or the city council of the city and county of Denver or more than one board of county commissioners may adopt a written resolution requiring approval by a juvenile community review board of residential community placements within its county of juveniles under commitment to the department of human services. Upon the effective date of such resolution and notice to the department of human services, a juvenile committed to the custody of the department of human services shall not be placed into a residential community placement in that county or region unless and until the placement is approved by the juvenile community review board.

The information must include, but not be limited to, a history of delinquent adjudications, a social history, an educational history, a mental health treatment history, a drug and alcohol treatment history, and a summary of institutional progress. Each juvenile case referred to the board must be reviewed within fourteen days from the date the referral is received.

The criteria must be based upon researched factors that have been demonstrated to be correlative to risk to the community.
