Bill Summary

To prohibit any entity from using the term "camp" in its title or promotional materials unless such entity is a licensed youth camp.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend chapter 368r of the general statutes to restrict the use of the term "camp" in organizational titles and promotional materials. Specifically, the legislation would prohibit any entity from using the word "camp" unless that organization has been officially licensed as a youth camp by the appropriate state authorities. This means that businesses, organizations, or groups that want to use "camp" in their name or marketing materials must first obtain a formal license from the state demonstrating they meet specific standards for youth camps. The purpose of the bill appears to be protecting consumers and ensuring that entities using the term "camp" have met established safety, supervision, and operational guidelines typically required for youth camps. By limiting the use of the term to licensed entities, the bill aims to provide clarity and potentially enhance safety for families and individuals seeking camp-related services.
