The Department's Board initially approved these recommended standards on September 28, 2001. The rules presented herein incorporate those standards, as amended, into administrative procedures as required by Alabama statute.

(3) The rules presented herein are applicable to persons who provide treatment services to "Juvenile criminal sex offenders" as defined by Alabama statute. Said individuals who are or in the future believe they will be providing treatment services to this population are required to follow these rules.
