Relating to emergency response planning and emergency preparedness of youth camps and campus programs for minors.
HB 239 requires youth camps and campus programs for minors in Texas to create and maintain emergency response plans following existing standards for youth camps. Program operators must develop plans covering disaster response, communication, and risk reduction, then submit them for review by the state division. The division evaluates plans based on specific criteria like response effectiveness and facility safety, with a 30-day window to revise plans if needed. This bill applies existing Health and Safety Code requirements (Sec. 141.0091-0093) to campus programs, ensuring they meet the same emergency preparedness standards as youth camps.
