The measure is a response to the dozens of children who died at Camp Mystic and other youth camps in the Texas Hill Country during the July 4 flood.

Michael McCown sent his 8-year-old daughter Linnie to a summer camp in central Texas trusting she would be safe.

Wednesday's meeting of the Select Committee on Disaster Preparedness and Flooding is the public hearing for Senate Bill 1, which covers safety for both youth camps and campgrounds. According to the bill's author, it incorporates significant feedback from the families of children lost at Camp Mystic.
