Other water resources leg islation of the 1967 session includes a law providing controls over marshland dredging operations and amendments ta the small 'watershed laws which pave the way for more effec tive county and city par ticipation, in watershed worts, and will enatilr wa tershed sponsors to incl'id" recreational facilities . and ; fish tand- game habitat re placement in ; their . pn grams. Looking toward the 1969 General, Assembly, if the House approves a Sen ate-passed resolution that directs a study of the need for reorganizing the con servation and development activities f state govern ment, there is the prospect of. legislative consideration of natural resources pro grams as a whole. The Legislative Research Com mission has also been di rected to review the actual operation of the new water laws and report to the ''09 Assembly its recommenda tions for further, legisla tion.' Two significant new laws have been placed on the books regarding .in:! and prr m administration. Ove of thes" rcoreanizes the state .prisons administra tion in a new State De partment of Correction. It also liudrporates contem porary thought on the hu maruzation and individual izing of treatment -of pris oners i. order to speed their safe return to the free community 'and to im prove their chances of re habilitation. The other sig nifirant new law seeks to improve local jail condi tions and provide for the basic needs of prisoners in jails.
