Relating to the maintenance of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather alert radios by certain campgrounds, hotels, and recreational vehicle parks.
HB 309 requires campgrounds, hotels, and recreational vehicle parks located in FEMA-defined floodplains or within a quarter-mile of a river or creek to maintain working weather alert radios. The bill mandates that these properties have a radio in every sleeping room and common area, and provide a special radio for hearing-impaired guests upon request. This law directly affects lodging facilities in flood-prone or river-adjacent areas by requiring emergency weather alert devices for guest safety.
