Relating to the construction of overnight accommodations at resident youth camps located within a floodplain.

HB 249 prohibits youth camp operators from constructing new overnight accommodations at resident youth camps located within a 100-year floodplain, as defined by FEMA or USDA flood maps. This law directly affects camp operators seeking to build new facilities in flood-prone areas, banning such construction starting on the bill's effective date. The bill defines a "100-year floodplain" as areas with a 1% annual flood risk and allows the executive commissioner to create implementing rules. It applies only to new construction beginning after the bill takes effect, 91 days post-session.
