Establishes provisions relating to summer camps

HB 1536 establishes new safety standards for non-religious summer camps operating in Missouri for children aged five and older. It requires camps to obtain state licensing, maintain background checks for all counselors (including FBI fingerprint checks and sex offender registry searches), ensure 50% of counselors are trained in CPR and AED use, and implement site-specific emergency plans covering medical incidents, aquatic safety, and natural disasters. Camps must also conduct annual inspections of aquatic equipment and provide parents with license status information. These requirements apply directly to summer camp operators, their staff, and the children they serve, with penalties including fines for non-compliance starting in 2027.
