Rep. Bryan Hughes, a Republican from Mineola, has filed a bill that would outlaw nudist youth camps in Texas.
No such camps currently exist in Texas, Hughes said, but a constituent who read a 2003 New York Times article in which a nudist group said it planned to start one here in 2005 asked him to make a pre-emptive strike to prevent that from happening.
Hughes originally filed the bill during the first special session in 2003, but it did not pass.
The bill is not a moral statement against nudity, he said, but rather a measure to protect children against pedophiles who could take advantage of them at such a camp.
