THE ISSUE
The Commission on Jail Standards, established on April 22,
1975, is responsible for the creation and enforcement of stan-
dards for jail facilities, equipment, personnel, programs, and
procedures. Until the creation of this agency, jail standards
were governed by Article 5115, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes,
and enforcement was scattered among various agencies from
commissioners' courts to the Texas Department of Health
Resources. These rules concern prisoner care and treatment
and are the second half of the rules proposed by the commis-
sion to establish uniform standards for jails. The commission's
first group of proposed rules, published in the August 3 issue
of the Register (Volume 1, Number 60), dealt with the physical
standards for jails.
The Texas State Board of Registration for Professional
Engineers, prompted by numerous requests for more lenient
requirements for examinations, adopts an amendment to permit
previously ineligible persons to take the examination. Until
this rule was adopted, only those who held a degree from an in-
stitution accredited by the Engineers Council for Professional
Development could take the examination. Because the council
accredits no foreign institutions and only those domestic ones
requesting accreditation consideration, those holding degrees
from many institutions were unable to register in Texas. At the
same time the board is proposing to change its rules concern-
ing applications from non-residents. The proposed amend-
ment would change the definition of resident to allow Texas
students who plan to practice outside of the state more ease in
obtaining registration from others states requiring the ex-
amination and having a reciprocal agreement with Texas.
