(The Center Square) – After the Texas House passed a relief package on Thursday, including a camp safety bill, the Texas Senate quickly and unanimously voted on the camp safety bill Thursday night. Gov. Greg Abbott applauded both chambers saying he will sign it into law.

The first bill the legislature passed in the second special session prioritizes camp safety regulations in response to the devastating July 4 flash flood event that killed 27 girl campers and counselors at Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas.
