Texas SB1 enhances safety standards for campgrounds and youth camps, including emergency plans and licensing requirements.

Texas SB1 amends the Health and Safety Code to improve safety at campgrounds and youth camps. It mandates that campgrounds install emergency ladders in cabins within floodplains and develop emergency plans for evacuations and sheltering. Youth camps must also develop emergency plans, including procedures for various emergencies and notifying parents if the camp is in a floodplain. The bill requires youth camps to be licensed and mandates safety training for campers, staff, and volunteers. It prohibits issuing licenses to youth camps with cabins in floodplains.
