Relating to requiring certain governmental entities to allow interested persons to comment on the proposed adoption or revision of certain emergency management plans.

HB 189 requires state and local government agencies to provide the public with a reasonable opportunity to comment on proposed changes to emergency management plans before adoption or revision. It mandates that agencies consider all written or oral submissions from interested persons (including people with disabilities) unless the plan contains sensitive infrastructure information. The bill specifically amends Texas Government Code sections 418.042 (state plans) and adds section 418.106(a-1) (local plans) to establish these public comment requirements. This affects all governmental entities responsible for emergency management planning, ensuring broader community input into disaster response strategies.
