(c) In any case where an institution is designated as one that may be used for reception or confinement of persons who are 16 years of age, such institution also may be used for reception or confinement as the case may be of persons who are 15 years of age and who are received by the department pursuant to commitment by the Family Court or pursuant to transfer from another State agency.
