SB 41 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session (2025)

Relating to floodlight and evacuation notice requirements for youth camp flood safety.

SB 41 requires youth camps located near flood-risk water bodies to install and maintain floodlights for emergency guidance and post clear evacuation instructions at every cabin entrance. It directly affects camp operators at such facilities by mandating specific safety measures during flood events. The bill adds Section 141.0093 to the Health and Safety Code, setting these concrete requirements without creating new funding or enforcement mechanisms. The law takes effect 91 days after the legislative session ends.
