The owners of three Kerr County youth camps have asked Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to reconsider some of the stricter new flood safety requirements contained in two bills before the Texas Legislature that have been filed as a result of the tragic July 4 Guadalupe River flooding that killed 27 Camp Mystic campers.
Two camp safety bills, House Bill 1 and Senate Bill 1, would withhold state licensing if cabins are located in a floodplain. A week ago, both bills were passed by their respective home chambers.
