It's been two months since at least 135 people were killed when flash floods roared through the Texas Hill country.

Last night, state lawmakers passed the first round of legislation in response.

The bills, which focus on improving camp safety, faced opposition from some Texas camps who said the new safety requirements would put them out of business.

But among those killed at Camp Mystic during the July 4th floods was 8-year-old Virginia Hollis.

I spoke with her parents, Lacey and Lars Hollis, yesterday ahead of those votes.

It's a very challenging time for our family.

Sleep is very hard to come by.

Weeks after losing their firstborn daughter, Lacey and Lars Hollis remain haunted by the night that flooding claimed her life and 26 others at Camp Mystic.

What these sweet little girls had to go through that evening is just very painful.

And we're taking it day by day.

Eight-year-old Virginia, Big Sister to Siena, was spending her first summer at the camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River.

She was so excited to play her, for the talent show at camp to get to play her,

the piano song that she composed.

She was like, Mommy, I bet nobody else whose eight has a piano song that they've written

themselves, you know, thinking about, she says a little girl of eight, you know, how brave and strong

she could be playing piano for strangers just because, like, she wanted to share music with them.

At least for me personally, it's really given me the strength to testify, to drive Austin to meet with people and tell them, you know, about

her and why this is important. On July 4th, storms pounded the Texas Hill country. Some 550

campers were at Camp Mystic, many asleep in cabins in high-risk flood zones.

The National Weather Service reportedly sent a severe flood alert at 114 a.m.

Campers weren't evacuated until at least 2 a.m.

No child should be sleeping in a floodplain, detection.
