Establishes provisions relating to summer camps

HB 2982 establishes new safety standards for non-religious summer camps operating in the state for children aged five and older (May-September). It requires camps to implement written emergency plans covering medical, aquatic, and other crises; ensure 50% of counselors and directors are trained in CPR/AED; conduct annual inspections of aquatic equipment; maintain public licensing records; and conduct comprehensive criminal background checks for all counselors. The bill directly affects summer camp operators, staff, and parents (who must receive licensure disclosures), replacing prior informal practices with mandatory compliance. Violations after May 1, 2028, face escalating fines, while pre-2028 offenses receive written warnings.
