Commission adopts changes to jail staffing rules after public comment period
Summary
The Commission adopted amendments to jail staffing regulations after a 60-day public comment period; Assistant Director Cecil Bell said the changes will become effective about three weeks after publication in the state register.
Assistant Director Cecil Bell summarized a proposed rulemaking published in the state register in December to amend jail staffing requirements, saying the notice solicited 60 days of public comment and that "we got a handful of of comments" which staff assessed. He presented a notice of adoption for the regulation changes and said the regulations "would become effective, I believe, 3 weeks from today upon publication."
Commissioners acknowledged the work involved and approved the notice of adoption by voice vote. The action finalizes changes intended to give counties and New York City increased flexibility while preserving the Commission's role in setting required posts and supervision standards.
