Relating to memorial plaques for the victims of the 2025 Hill Country flood.
HB 65, the Flood Victims Memorial Plaques Act, requires the Texas Historical Commission to install commemorative plaques in each impacted Texas House district honoring victims of the 2025 Hill Country flood. The Commission must coordinate with local governments, property owners, and families to select locations and determine plaque content, which must include the flood dates and may list victim names and ages. The bill takes effect 91 days after the legislative session ends, focusing solely on creating permanent memorials without altering policies or funding.
