(b) Discovery Procedures with Minors. Upon motion and notice to the minor's counsel, or to the minor's parent, guardian or custodian in the absence of counsel, and upon a showing that the discovery sought will be of material aid in determining whether the minor committed the alleged offense, the court may order a minor to submit to one or more of the investigative procedures listed in Utah Rule of Criminal Procedure 16. Whenever the personal appearance of the minor is required for any ordered discovery procedure, the prosecuting attorney shall inform the minor's parent, guardian or custodian and counsel of the time and place of the procedure.
(c) Medical Supervision. Blood tests shall be conducted under medical supervision. The court may require medical supervision for any other test ordered pursuant to this rule when the court deems such supervision necessary.
