consequences. Under § 43-247.02(2), on and after July 1,
2013, a juvenile court can commit a juvenile to OJS for place
ment at a YRTC only as part of an order of ISP. But because
Marcella had already been committed to OJS for placement at
a level less restrictive than a YRTC and only later transferred
to a YRTC after July 1, subsection (2) does not apply. We
conclude that § 43-247.02(3) controls and that the juvenile
court acted within its authority when it transferred Marcella to
the YRTC without making the placement as part of an order
of ISP.
