As a naming and effective date measure, it has no substantive policy provisions.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to expand its scope from only 'youth camps' to include 'camp facilities' and 'outdoor programs,' ensuring a broader range of organizations are covered. The Senate version also updated the definition of 'regulating authority' to specifically include county emergency management directors and added a new definition for 'camp facility.' Additionally, the bill now explicitly requires all covered entities to submit their hazard assessments and emergency action plans to the regulating authority for filing, whereas the House version only required youth camps to file with the local director.
