The latest:

The camp's letter begins by promising a memorial to the 27 people who died while staying at the property on the Fourth of July weekend.

They then say they will reopen with the new "Heaven's 27 Safety Act" in place. The legislation passed during the second Texas Special Session of the legislature, and requires stricter practices for summer camps, as well as restrictions on flood plain construction.
