The bill, H.B. No. 144, amends the Health and Safety Code by adding a new section, 141.0091, which mandates that youth camp operators provide each camper with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. This tag is designed to track the camper's location in case they go missing or during severe weather events or other disasters. The bill defines an "active radio frequency identification tag" as a wireless system that uses a transmitter and a power source to broadcast signals and transmit data without needing physical contact.

Additionally, the bill requires the executive commissioner to adopt rules necessary for the implementation of this new requirement. The provisions of this act will take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
