Relating to youth camp emergency preparedness plans.
HB 224 requires Texas youth camp operators to create and maintain written emergency plans covering specific scenarios like natural disasters, lost campers, fires, medical emergencies, and location-specific risks. Camps must coordinate annually with local authorities, establish parent notification procedures during emergencies, and submit plans for state approval. Plans must be updated yearly and revised within 90 days if rejected by the state department. This directly affects all youth camps operating in Texas by imposing new documentation and coordination requirements.
