"I promised her she would be safe and OK. I told her camp was the safest place she could be and camp was a place she could make new friends and learn new things," said her mother, Carrie Hanna. "She not only wasn't safe. She died." Hanna said she received very poor communication about what had happened to her daughter.

The families shared stories of unimaginable grief and heartache as they pleaded with committee members to pass SB 1 to ensure Texas youth camps are safer.

In response, the committee unanimously passed Senate Bill 1, allocating $200 million to improve infrastructure and technology at Texas youth camps. Senator Paul Bettencourt told the families that the committee and he will try to take on as much of the pressure as they can from the families, according to our sister station CBS Austin.

On Wednesday, for the first time, Camp Mystic families detailed their experience of their daughters who died in Texas Hill Country flooding.

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.
