The bill, S.B. No. 41, introduces new flood safety requirements for youth camps located near bodies of water that are at risk of flooding. It amends the Health and Safety Code by adding Section 141.0093, which mandates that youth camp operators must install and maintain floodlights to guide campers to safety during emergencies. Additionally, for each cabin at the camp, operators are required to post a sign in a conspicuous location near the entrance, detailing the procedures for safely evacuating in the event of flooding.

This legislation aims to enhance the safety of campers by ensuring that they have clear guidance and resources available during potential flood emergencies. The bill will take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
