The proposed bill, titled 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 alongside local governmental entities, state leaders, and property owners to select suitable locations for these plaques. The bill emphasizes collaboration 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 also feature the names and ages of the victims, as well as other relevant details.
The act is set to take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session. This initiative reflects a commitment to memorializing the tragic event and ensuring that the memories of those lost are preserved within their communities.
