Oregon statute vests with the Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) the responsibility to approve youth care center (YCC) programs operated within county secure facilities, based on reasonable and satisfactory assurances that minimum standards are met. The purpose of these rules is to define the process detention facilities will use to request approval and designation of such programs, and the criteria the OYA will apply to review the requests.
