(1) After designation as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, the case must proceed with an adjudicatory hearing, as provided in 41-5-1502. If a youth in an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution admits to or is adjudicated to have committed an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult, the court shall:
     (a) impose one or more juvenile dispositions under 41-5-1512 or 41-5-1513; and
     (b) impose any sentence allowed by the statute that establishes the penalty for the offense of which the youth is convicted and that would be permissible if the offender were an adult. The execution of the sentence imposed under this subsection must be stayed on the condition that the youth not violate the provisions of the disposition order and not commit a new offense.
     (2) If a youth prosecuted as an extended jurisdiction juvenile after designation by the county attorney in the delinquency petition under 41-5-1602(1)(b) admits to or is adjudicated to have committed an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult that is not an offense described in 41-5-1602(1)(b), the court shall adjudicate the youth delinquent and order a disposition under 41-5-1513.
     (3) If a youth in an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution admits to or is adjudicated to have committed an offense that would not be a felony if committed by an adult, the court may impose, with the youth's consent, a disposition provided under subsection (1)(b). If the youth does not consent to disposition under subsection (1)(b), the court shall impose a disposition as provided under subsection (1)(a).
