HB 86 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to emergency evacuation instruction and notice requirements for youth camps.

HB 86 requires Texas youth camps to post clear emergency evacuation maps in all overnight accommodations, showing two routes to a safe meeting point and emergency equipment locations. It also mandates that all campers and staff receive pre-camp instruction on evacuation routes, equipment, and map usage. The bill directly affects youth camps operating in Texas, setting specific safety standards for emergency preparedness. These requirements become effective once the executive commissioner adopts implementing rules. The law focuses on concrete, visible safety measures rather than broader policy changes.
