WORK PROGRAMS (§ 66-25.1)

A. The Director or his designee may enter into an agreement with a public or
private entity for the operation of a work program for juveniles committed to
the Department.

B. The primary purpose of such work program shall be the training of such
juveniles, not the production of goods or the rendering of service by juveniles
committed to the Department. Such work programs also shall not interfere with or
impact a juvenile&#8217;s education program where the goal is achieving a high
school diploma or its equivalent. The Board shall promulgate regulations
governing the form and review process for proposed agreements.

C. Articles produced or manufactured and services provided by juveniles
participating in such a work program may be purchased by any county, by any
district of any county, city, or town and by any nonprofit organization,
including volunteer emergency medical services agencies, fire departments,
sheltered workshops and community service organizations. Such articles and
services may also be bought, sold or acquired by exchange on the open market
through the participating public or private entity.

D. Revenues received from the sale of articles, as provided in subsection C,
shall be deposited into a special fund established in the state treasury. Such
funds shall be expended to support work programs for juveniles committed to the
Department.
