Relating to human services; declaring an emergency.

Summary

The bill lets the Oregon Department of Human Services send Indian children to out-of-state placements even if those facilities are not licensed or under contract with the state, as long as they meet placement preferences and are either run by the Indian Health Service or requested by the child's tribe. It defines “Indian child” and “qualified residential treatment program” and takes effect immediately as an emergency measure.
