An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in local organizations and services, providing for flood evacuation plans for organized camps.
What changed between versions
The bill was moved from Title 53 to Title 35, changing the legal authority and broadening the applicability to include executive agencies.
New definitions were added for 'operator,' 'organized camp,' and 'special flood hazard area' to clarify who must comply and what areas are covered.
New enforcement provisions were added, allowing political subdivisions to condition licenses or permits on compliance with the flood evacuation plan requirements.
Requirements were expanded to mandate that executive agencies either establish their own plans or ensure lessees do so, in addition to private operators.
The review and update requirement was clarified to occur annually before the camp opens for the season, with consultation required from county emergency management agencies.
