STATEMENT OF EMERGENCY
505 KAR 1:120E

An emergency regulation, pursuant to KRS 13A.190(1)(a)(1), is necessary to meet an imminent threat to public health, safety, and welfare posed by increasingly violent youth housed in Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) detention centers and post-adjudication facilities. Recent violent events by youth at DJJ facilities necessitate immediate action to change options available to the department for control of the facilities and the youths contained within them. An ordinary administrative regulation is not sufficient because of recent violent events by youth at DJJ facilities that put other youths in custody as well as DJJ staff at risk of harm. This administrative regulation will be replaced by an ordinary administrative regulation that is being filed with the emergency administrative regulation. The ordinary administrative regulation is identical to this emergency administrative regulation. No emergency administrative regulation governing the same subject matter has been filed within the previous nine months.
