Texas HB71 mandates emergency preparedness plans for youth camps and high-risk activity entities, with civil penalties for non-compliance.
HB71 requires operators of youth camps and entities providing high-risk activities for minors to develop and submit emergency preparedness plans to the Texas Division of Emergency Management. These plans must include details on location-specific risks, activity-based hazards, and evacuation procedures. The division will review these plans and provide feedback. Operators must also post signs with emergency preparedness information and coordinate with local emergency services. The division will develop an emergency readiness toolkit and post it online.
