The Office of Juvenile Affairs shall approve only those applications for funds to renovate an existing juvenile detention facility or any other existing facility or to construct a new juvenile detention facility which contain proposed plans that are in compliance with state-approved juvenile detention standards. 4. The Office of Juvenile Affairs shall approve only those applications or contracts for funds to operate juvenile detention facilities or otherwise provide for secure juvenile detention services and alternatives to secure detention which are in compliance with or which are designed to achieve compliance with the State Plan for the Establishment of Juvenile Detention Services provided for in Section 2-3-103 of this title. 5.
