(2) When the juvenile panel appoints counsel to represent the young person, the juvenile panel may order the young person, if able, parent, if able, or guardian of the estate, if the estate is able, to pay to the Public Defense Services Account established by ORS 151.225, through the clerk of the court, in full or in part, the administrative costs of determining the ability of the young person, parent or estate to pay for legal services and the costs of the legal and other services that are related to the provision of appointed counsel. The juvenile panel’s order of payment may be entered in the County Clerk Lien Record and enforced as provided in ORS 205.126.

(3) The test of the young person’s, parent’s or estate’s ability to pay costs under subsection (2) of this section is the same test as applied to appointment of counsel for defendants under ORS 135.050 or under the rules adopted under ORS 151.216. If counsel is provided at state expense, the juvenile panel shall apply this test in accordance with the guidelines adopted by the Public Defense Services Commission under ORS 151.485.

(4) If counsel is provided at state expense, the juvenile panel shall determine the amount the young person, parent or estate is required to pay for the costs of administrative, legal and other services related to the provision of appointed counsel in the same manner as this amount is determined under ORS 151.487.

(5) The Attorney General may represent the state at contested hearings before the juvenile panel unless the district attorney of the county in which the young person was adjudicated elects to represent the state. The district attorney of the county in which the young person was adjudicated shall cooperate with the Attorney General in securing the material necessary for presenting a contested hearing before the juvenile panel. If the district attorney elects to represent the state, the district attorney shall give timely written notice to the Attorney General, the juvenile panel and the attorney representing the young person.
