16.18 	child meets the level of care criteria for placement under rules adopted under section 254A.03,

16.20 	that level of care in its disposition order. In addition, the court may require any child ordered 
16.21 	to undergo an assessment to pay a chemical dependency assessment charge of $75. The 
16.22 	court shall forward the assessment charge to the commissioner of management and budget
