(1) The Director of the Oregon Health Authority shall administer alcohol and drug abuse programs, including but not limited to programs or components of programs described in ORS 430.397 to 430.401 and 475.225 and ORS chapters 430 and 801 to 822.
(2) Subject to ORS 417.300 and 417.305, the director shall:
(a) Report to the Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission on accomplishments and issues occurring during each biennium, and report on a new biennial plan describing resources, needs and priorities for all alcohol and drug abuse programs.
(b) Develop within the Oregon Health Authority priorities for alcohol and drug abuse programs and activities.
(c) Conduct statewide and special planning processes that provide for participation from state and local agencies, groups and individuals.
(d) Identify the needs of special populations including minorities, elderly, youth, women and individuals with disabilities.
(e) Subject to ORS chapter 183, adopt such rules as are necessary for the performance of the duties and functions specified by this section.
(3) The director may apply for, receive and administer funds, including federal funds and grants, from sources other than the state. Subject to expenditure limitation set by the Legislative Assembly, funds received under this subsection may be expended by the director:
(a) For the study, prevention or treatment of alcohol and drug abuse and dependence in this state.
(b) To provide training, both within this state and in other states, in the prevention and treatment of alcohol and drug abuse and dependence.
(4) The director shall, in consultation with state agencies and counties, establish guidelines to coordinate program review and audit activities by state agencies and counties that provide funds to alcohol and drug prevention and treatment programs.
