SB 35 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session (2025)

Relating to flood safety requirements for youth camps located near rivers, creeks, and streams.

SB 35 requires youth camps located near rivers, creeks, or streams to equip each overnight cabin with specific emergency safety equipment, including radios for communication, life jackets for every camper, first aid kits, and emergency hammers. Camp operators must store this equipment accessibly and post clear, easy-to-understand instructions for its use in each cabin. The executive commissioner will develop implementing rules to enforce these requirements. This bill applies only to camps using cabins for overnight stays and does not affect other camp facilities or locations not near waterways.
