(A) As a condition of probation or discharge of a person convicted of a violation of § 71.35, who was less than 21 years of age at the time of the offense, or a person adjudicated delinquent pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, for violation of § 71.35, the court may order the offender to participate in the Youthful Intoxicated Drivers' Visitation Program. The Program shall consist of a supervised visitation as provided by this section by the person to at least one of the following, to the extent that personnel and facilities are available:
(1) A state or private rehabilitation facility that cares for victims of motor vehicle crashes involving persons under the influence of alcohol.
(2) A facility which cares for advanced alcoholics to observe persons in the terminal stages of alcoholism, under the supervision of appropriately licensed medical personnel.
(3) If approved by the coroner of the county where the person resides, the county coroner's office or the county morgue to observe appropriate victims of motor vehicle crashes involving persons under the influence of alcohol, under the supervision of the coroner or deputy coroner.
(B) The Program shall be operated by the appropriate probation authorities of the courts of the various circuits. The youthful offender ordered to participate in the Program shall bear all costs associated with participation in the Program. A parent or guardian of the offender may assume the obligation of the offender to pay the costs of the Program. The court may waive the requirement that the offender pay the costs of participation in the Program upon a finding of indigency.
(C) As used in this section, "appropriate victims" means victims whose condition is determined by the visit supervisor to demonstrate the results of motor vehicle crashes involving persons under the influence of alcohol without being excessively gruesome or traumatic to the observer.
(D) Any visitation shall include, before any observation of victims or persons with disabilities, a comprehensive counseling session with the visitation supervisor at which the supervisor shall explain and discuss the experiences which may be encountered during the visitation in order to ascertain whether the visitation is appropriate.
