The bill, H.B. No. 237, mandates the Texas Water Development Board to conduct a study assessing the need for standards regarding the placement of recreational vehicles and temporary dwelling structures in flood hazard areas. The bill defines "flood hazard area" as land designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. The board is authorized to consult with FEMA and other relevant agencies to gather necessary information for the study.

The findings of the study are to be compiled into a report, which must be submitted to key state officials, including the governor and legislative leaders, by January 1, 2027. This report should also include legislative recommendations based on the study's findings. The bill stipulates that it will expire on February 1, 2027, and will take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
