(a) Review.--
(1) Upon notice being certified to the court that a child has failed to comply with a lawful sentence imposed for a summary offense, a probation officer shall review the complaints and charges of delinquency pursuant to section 6304 (relating to powers and duties of probation officers) for the purpose of considering the commencement of proceedings under this chapter.
(2) A proceeding commenced under the review in this subsection is a separate action from the underlying summary conviction. For the purposes of proceedings commenced under this section, failure to comply with a lawful sentence imposed for a summary offense is an alleged delinquent act.
(3) Any reference to the underlying summary conviction is solely for the purpose of the certification from the magisterial district judge to the court of common pleas that the juvenile was convicted of the summary offense and failed to comply under section 4132(2) (relating to attachment and summary punishment for contempts).
(b) Administration of money.--Any money subsequently paid by the child pursuant to the disposition of the charges shall be administered and disbursed in accordance with written guidelines adopted by the president judge of the court of common pleas. The court may direct that any portion of the money received from the child shall be deposited into a restitution fund established by the president judge of the court of common pleas pursuant to section 6352(a)(5) (relating to disposition of delinquent child).
