The adult in custody must sign the Withdrawal of Protected Reserve Funds form in the presence of a designated employee as approved by the functional unit manager before sending the form to the functional unit manager or designee for approval.

- (8) The department may assess a trust account establishment fee of $1.00 in accordance with ORS 421.125(2)(f). Once assessed, the department may collect the assessed fee from any accrued interest, up to $1.00, that is remaining or remaining to be deposited at the time of account closure due to release, transfer, or any other reason.
