In determining whether a youth should be committed to a state secure facility, conditionally released or discharged, the Board shall have as its primary concern the protection of society. In considering the issue of dangerousness, the Board may hear testimony on whether the youth's qualifying mental disorder may, with reasonable medical probability, occasionally become active, and when active, render the youth a danger to others. The Board shall not discharge a youth for whom there is a finding of dangerousness.
