Suspension shall mean that no persons coming within the provisions of article three or seven of the family court act and no alleged or convicted juvenile offender may be received for care in a detention facility, but persons already in care may remain in care. The office may impose such conditions in the event of a suspension as it shall deem necessary and proper.

Revocation shall mean that no persons coming within the provisions of article three or seven of the family court act and no alleged or convicted juvenile offender may be received for care nor remain at the detention facility. 6.
