(c) When no community developmental disabilities program is operating within a county, operate the program or service.
(d) At the request of the tribal council of a federally recognized tribe of Native Americans, contract with the tribal council for the establishment and operation of a community developmental disabilities program in the same manner in which the department contracts with a county court or board of county commissioners.

Subsequent amendments to or modifications of an approved plan or budget information involving more than 10 percent of the state funds provided for services under ORS 430.664 may not be placed in effect without prior approval of the department. However, an amendment or modification affecting 10 percent or less of state funds for services under ORS 430.664 within the portion of the program for persons with developmental disabilities may be made without department approval.
(g) Make all necessary and proper rules to regulate the establishment and operation of community developmental disabilities programs.
(2) The enumeration of duties and functions in subsection (1) of this section may not be deemed exclusive or construed as a limitation on the powers and authority vested in the department by other provisions of law. [2011 c.720 §179; 2013 c.36 §31]
