Revising rules regarding the rights of children in the custody of the Department




DHS, Office of Child Welfare Programs, is revising its rules regarding the rights of children and young adults in the legal custody of the Department to expressly establish the Oregon Foster Children's Bill of Rights and to list in rule the rights of foster children specified in ORS 418.201<https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/lawsstatutes/2013ors418.html>, as required by ORS 418.202<https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/lawsstatutes/2013ors418.html> (SB 123<https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2013R1/Measures/Overview/SB123> (2013)).

These rule changes do not make any substantive changes to the rights of children or young adults in the legal custody of the Department. The rules are also revised to add references and clarify language.

The Department requests public input on the proposed rule changes. Written comments may be submitted until Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2014 at 5 pm via e-mail to kris.a.skaro at state.or.us<mailto:kris.a.skaro at state.or.us> or mailed to Kris Skaro at 500 Summer Street NE, E-48 Salem, Oregon, 97301.

A public hearing will also be held to take comments in person on Monday, Dec. 22, 2014 at 11 am at the Human Services Building, Room 257, 500 Summer Street NE, in Salem. The hearing site is accessible for individuals with mobility impairments and auxiliary aids and services are available upon request. All comments received will be given equal consideration before the Department proceeds with permanent rulemaking.
