Senate Bill 1 Reconciliation
Senate Bill 267 - Evidence-based Practices
In 2004 legislation was drafted to mandate the use of evidence-based practices for youths and adults at risk of involvement in the criminal justice and correctional systems.
The Oregon state Senate Bill 267, which later was enacted into state law (ORS 185.515-525), proposed that state-funded programs use treatment practices shown by research to have an impact on reducing the risk to recidivate and/or decrease the likelihood that persons will be hospitalized for mental health crises. This state mandate applies to the Department of Corrections, Oregon Youth Authority, State Commission on Children and Families, and the Office of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OMHAS).
In compliance with this law, agencies must demonstrate that 25% of the monies spent on programming be spent on evidence-based services in the fiscal year 2005-2007. Implementation of the mandate occurs at a graduated level system in which agencies are required to demonstrate 50% of their monies are spent on evidence-based practices in 2007-2009, and 75% of monies in 2009-2011. Currently, the Oregon Youth Authority has surpassed the legislative target for this biennium.
Senate Bill 770 - Oregon Tribal Government to Government Report
Senate Bill 770 Public Safety Cluster Groups Membership of the Public Safety Cluster Group consists of representatives of public safety agencies from both state and tribal governments. The Public Safety Cluster works towards a collaborative process to assist in the resolution of issues that affect both tribal and state governments.
OYA's OMS’ Native American Coordinator is the Chair of the Public Safety Cluster Group.
Equal Access to Gender-Appropriate Services
On July 28, 1993, Governor Barbara Roberts signed into law House Bill 3576 (ORS 417.270) — a law that, for the first time in Oregon, required state agencies serving children under the age of 18 to plan, implement and provide equal access to gender-appropriate services, and ensure parity in the allocation of moneys and services to males and females.
Senate Bill 1 (1995) established the Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) and charged the OYA with the responsibility to "apply the equal access provisions of ORS 417.270 in the development and administration of youth correction facilities, programs and services…” The OYA is pleased to submit this 2007 report outlining the agency’s efforts to ensure a continuum of gender-appropriate services for all youth offenders.
Mental Health and Offenders in OYA Custody
The OYA conducts a mental health/substance abuse survey every two years on all offenders in OYA custody. The resulting data is analyzed to detect gaps in youth services and is used to advocate for services during the budget process.
Juvenile Sex Offender Management Grant
Oregon's Juvenile Sex Offender Management Grant project is a collaboration of the Oregon juvenile justice system including the Oregon Youth Authority, county juvenile departments, district attorneys, the defense bar, victim advocates, child welfare, education, law enforcement, academia, and treatment providers. The grant (December 2003 - June 2006) allowed the juvenile justice stakeholder community to assess current practices and develop and implement a more comprehensive approach to the management and treatment of juvenile sex offenders. The Juvenile Sex Offender Management Steering Committee's Grant Report to Stakeholders summarizes the project results.

| Listening Forums |
|
Interm Deputy Director Fariborz Pakseresht has been visiting with staff to gain an understanding of some of the issues facing the agency and to explore how we can better meet our mission here at OYA.
The intent of these listening forums was to solicit frank and direct feedback from those in the agency who have day-to-day involvement with treatment programs for the youth. The questions were designed to allow participants to express their perspectives on those things that are working well and things that can be improved as they relate to treatment programs.
