It is declared to be the legislative policy of the State of Oregon to recognize county juvenile courts and departments as a basic foundation for the provision of services to children, wards, youths, adjudicated youths and their families and, with the limited amount of funds available, to assist counties in financing certain juvenile court-related services on a continuing basis. The purpose of ORS 419A.045 to 419A.048 is to provide basic grants to juvenile departments to assist them in the administration of court services as defined in ORS 3.250.
