Juvenile diversion services fees shall be the responsibility of the parent or legal guardian of the juvenile receiving services. However, no juvenile who is eligible for diversion, as provided in Chapter 13.40 RCW, may be denied diversion services based on an inability to pay for the services. The juvenile department is authorized to implement procedures, for cause, to waive all or part of the diversion fee based on an applicant’s showing of bona fide hardship.
