Relating to the prohibited use as overnight accommodations of youth camp structures located within certain floodplains.

HB 268 prohibits youth camps from using structures with their lowest floor located within a 100-year floodplain and below the base flood elevation as overnight accommodations. This bill directly affects youth camps operating in designated flood-prone areas across Texas. The key provision amends the Health and Safety Code to require the executive commissioner to establish this specific floodplain safety standard, adding it to existing health and safety requirements for camps. The bill would take effect immediately if approved by a two-thirds vote, otherwise on the 91st day after the legislative session.
