The proposed bill, known as the Flood Victims Memorial Plaques Act, aims to honor the victims of the 2025 Hill Country flood by establishing memorial plaques in each affected Texas house district. The Texas Historical Commission, referred to as the "Commission," will work in collaboration with local governmental entities, state leaders, and property owners to select appropriate locations for these plaques. The Commission will also engage with the families and communities of the victims to determine the content of the plaques, which will include an inscription with the dates of the flood and may feature the names and ages of the victims, along with other relevant details.
The bill outlines the responsibilities of the Commission in coordinating the installation of the memorial plaques and emphasizes the importance of community involvement in the process. It is set to take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
