Austin, Texas — The Texas Senate has unanimously passed Senate Bill 1, also known as the “Heaven’s 27 Camp Safety Act,” in a move to strengthen safety protocols at youth camps across the state.

The legislation comes in response to a tragic flood in Kerr County that resulted in the deaths of more than 100 individuals, including campers.

The bill introduces several safety requirements aimed at preventing similar incidents. Youth camps will be required to install real-time weather alert systems to ensure timely warnings during adverse weather conditions. These systems are intended to help camp operators take immediate action to protect campers and staff.

In addition, the legislation mandates that camp personnel receive comprehensive training on emergency preparedness and evacuation procedures. This is designed to ensure that staff members are equipped to respond effectively in emergencies.

Another major component of the bill is a restriction on the establishment of youth camps in hazardous river floodplains. By limiting camps from being located in high-risk areas, the legislation seeks to reduce the threat of flood-related disasters.

Camp staff will also be required to undergo ongoing training in emergency response, reinforcing the importance of readiness and the ability to act under pressure.

Senate Bill 1 now moves to the Texas House of Representatives for further consideration. If passed, it will be sent to the governor’s desk for signing into law.

The proposal reflects a strong legislative response to a catastrophic event and underscores the state’s commitment to child safety at youth camps.
