Bill > HB3142

This bill modifies and establishes provisions related to summer and day camps, and also creates new adult high schools. It mandates that the Department of Social Services authorize nonprofit organizations to operate up to five adult high schools in specific geographic locations, requiring these schools to offer high school diplomas and industry certifications, and to partner with postsecondary institutions. The bill also expands the record-keeping requirements for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to include parental complaints against summer and day camps, and clarifies that summer and day camps, along with child care facilities, are subject to licensing and inspection requirements. Furthermore, it introduces the "Summer and Day Camp Emergency Response Act," which mandates that summer and day camps develop and implement comprehensive emergency plans, including procedures for various emergencies, and requires them to have operable radios for weather alerts and emergency warning systems. Camps must also provide campers and staff with safety orientations and training on emergency procedures, and make their emergency plans accessible to parents and guardians. The bill also outlines procedures for license renewal, investigation of complaints, and enforcement actions for non-compliance, including license suspension or revocation.
