Or. Admin. Code § 291-111-0100 - Authority, Purpose, and Policy
(1) Authority: The authority for these rules
is granted to the Director of the Department of Corrections (DOC) in accordance
with ORS 179.040, 179.360, 423.020, ORS 423.030, and ORS 423.075.
(2) Purpose: The purpose of these rules is to
establish procedures consistent with state and federal law that ensure that
qualified adults in custody (AICs) are not excluded from participation in, or
denied the benefits of DOC programs, services, or activities, or otherwise
subjected to discrimination, because of a disability.
(3) Policy:
(a) It is the policy of the Department of
Corrections to ensure that qualified AICs are not excluded from participation
in, or denied the benefits of department programs, services, or activities, or
otherwise subject to discrimination, because of a disability.
(b) Due to the complex nature of the
correctional setting, an AIC who believes they are or have been excluded from
participation in, or denied the benefits of, programs, services, or activities,
may use the department's grievance review system.
(c) Within the inherent limitations of
resources and the need for facility security, safety, health and good order, it
is the policy of the Department of Corrections that all AICs be treated fairly
and equitably, and that staff actions and decisions be consistent with the
rules, policies, and procedures of the department.
