() Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed two camp safety bills into law Friday morning, a response to devastating 4th of July floods in central Texas.

Abbott began by thanking leadership in the state legislature for drafting the legislation and getting it passed.

He was joined by parents whose daughters had died at Camp Mystic, who pleaded for change to avoid another tragedy.

“Every child who goes to camp should come home to their families,” he said.

More than 100 people were killed in the flooding, including 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, located along the Guadalupe River.

The area is home to many summer camps, and safety was a focus for legislators who held a special session that addressed flood response as one of the main issues.

House Bill 1 requires camps to submit emergency plans to the state, train staff on flood emergencies and install warning systems.

Senate Bill 1 prohibits cabins in floodplains, requires cabins to display evacuation routes, and to have ladders to access the roof.

Abbott also signed a bill that would require local governments in flood-prone areas to install outdoor warning systems, with state grants to help with the cost.

Leaders in Kerr County, which was hardest hit by the flooding, have spoken out to object to the Senate bill, stating that moving cabins out of floodplains is too expensive and will force camps to close.
