Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to building standards for youth camps located within or near certain floodplains.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Health and Safety Code to require the executive commissioner to establish minimum building standards for youth camps located in or near flood-prone areas. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision requiring the development of standards for youth camps situated within a 100-year floodplain or within five feet of a 100-year floodplain (a designated area with a 1% annual chance of flooding). This new requirement is added to the existing section of law that already mandates health and safety standards for youth camps, which currently covers areas like supervision, staff qualifications, sanitation, medical services, food preparation, water safety, fire precautions, and other operational guidelines. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers; otherwise, it will become effective 91 days after the end of the legislative session. The goal of this amendment appears to be to enhance the safety of youth camps by ensuring their buildings and facilities are better protected from potential flood risks.
