The bill, introduced by Senator Zaffirini, amends the Health and Safety Code by adding a new section, 141.0093, which establishes flood safety requirements for youth camps located near bodies of water at risk of flooding. The new provisions mandate 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 proper evacuation procedures and guidance are readily available during flood emergencies. The bill is set to take effect on the 91st day following the conclusion of the legislative session.
