Relating to a study by the Texas Water Development Board regarding standards for placement of recreational vehicles and temporary dwelling structures in a flood hazard area.
HB 237 requires the Texas Water Development Board to study whether new standards are needed for placing recreational vehicles and temporary dwellings (like tiny homes or mobile structures) in flood hazard areas. The study must assess risks and consult with FEMA and other agencies, with a final report due by January 1, 2027, including legislative recommendations. This bill does not create immediate rules but aims to inform future policy for communities in flood-prone zones. It expires February 1, 2027, and takes effect 91 days after the legislative session ends.
