HB 75 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to building standards for youth camps located within or near certain floodplains.

HB 75 amends Texas Health and Safety Code to require youth camps in flood-prone areas to meet specific building standards. It directly affects youth camps located within or near 100-year floodplains (areas prone to major flooding) by mandating minimum building standards to prevent flood damage to structures. The bill requires the executive commissioner to establish rules ensuring camp buildings are designed and maintained to minimize flooding risks. This is a concrete policy change focused on physical safety infrastructure, not broader camp operations or general flood management.
