Summary

During the 89th Legislature, 1st Called Session, the House Select Committee on Disaster Preparedness & Flooding held several hearings investigating the historic July 2025 flooding in Central Texas. The bill sponsor has informed the committee that this investigation revealed several issues facing the state and that both responding to this disaster and ensuring better disaster preparedness in the future require making appropriations for those purposes. C.S.S.B. 5 seeks to address these issues by making funding available to help Central Texas communities recover from the devastating July 2025 floods and to strengthen the state's defenses against future extreme weather.
