Relating to requiring certain governmental entities to allow interested persons to comment on the proposed adoption or revision of certain emergency management plans.

HB 166 requires state and local government agencies to allow the public to comment on proposed changes to emergency management plans. Specifically, it mandates that agencies give "all interested persons, including those with disabilities," a reasonable opportunity to submit written or oral feedback before adopting or revising these plans. Agencies must fully consider all public submissions, unless the plan contains sensitive infrastructure details. This applies to both the state’s emergency management division (under Section 418.042) and local or regional agencies (under Section 418.106). The bill aims to increase transparency in emergency planning without altering the content of the plans themselves.
