(1) As used in this section, ‘home state’ and ‘out-of-state runaway’ have the meanings given those terms in ORS § 419C.156.
(2) Notwithstanding any provisions in ORS Chapter 419A, 419B or 419C prohibiting the detention of children or wards, if the court determines that a child or ward is an out-of-state runaway, the court may place the out-of-state runaway in a placement that the court determines to be the least restrictive setting, including detention, necessary to ensure that the out-of-state runaway is not a danger to self or others pending the return of the out-of-state runaway to the out-of-state runaway’s home state.
