SB 60 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session (2025)

Relating to emergency preparedness and safety requirements for youth camps.

SB 60 requires youth camp operators in Texas to meet new emergency preparedness standards to obtain or renew their licenses. It mandates camps to maintain operable radios for real-time weather alerts, install emergency warning systems with public address capabilities (not reliant on internet), and monitor local weather and emergency alerts. Camps must also adopt a written emergency plan detailing evacuation routes, muster zones, and the location of emergency equipment like fire extinguishers and flotation devices. These requirements directly affect all licensed youth camps operating overnight accommodations in Texas.
