(a)The State Commission of Correction (the commission) recognizes the need to provide a mechanism by which the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) may apply for a variance to the requirements of this Chapter when situations exist or arise that would prevent or alter OCFS’s ability to meet such requirement. The commission shall grant such variances only under specified conditions and when doing so will not jeopardize the safety, security, or good order of a secure facility.
(b)Consistent with the requirements of this Part, OCFS shall develop written policies and procedures that govern the application process of obtaining variances for each secure facility. These policies and procedures shall be reviewed annually and updated as needed.
