(1) A youth may not introduce evidence on the issue of the defense set forth in ORS 419C.522 unless the youth gives notice of intent to do so in the manner provided in subsection (2) of this section.

(2) A youth who is required under subsection (1) of this section to give notice must do so by filing a written notice of intent.
