The Oregon Youth Authority shall adopt the rules it deems necessary or advisable to carry out the intent and purposes of this section and ORS 420.890.

The youth authority shall adopt rules establishing standards for certification of adjudicated youth foster homes. The youth authority shall include in the rules requirements that a foster parent receive training designed to assist the foster parent in understanding juvenile delinquency and managing the behavior that results from juvenile delinquency.

The youth authority or its representative shall visit every certified adjudicated youth foster home from time to time as often as appears necessary to determine whether:

The adjudicated youth foster home consistently maintains the standards established by the youth authority; and

Proper care is being provided to adjudicated youths at the adjudicated youth foster home.

A person operating an adjudicated youth foster home may not, as a disciplinary measure against an adjudicated youth in the adjudicated youth foster home, deny a parent or guardian of the adjudicated youth the right to visit the adjudicated youth.
