Regulation Authority:
RIGL § 42-72-5
Purpose and Reason:
This amendment updates the division title referenced throughout the regulation from “Division of Juvenile Correctional Services” to “Division of Youth Development.” The change is administrative in nature and does not alter the substance, scope, or implementation of the regulation.
The purpose of the amendment is to align the division title with the Department of Children, Youth, and Families’ mission and statutory focus on rehabilitation, treatment, and positive youth development, rather than punishment. The current title reflects legacy terminology that predates the current organizational and mission framework of the Department.
