House Bill No. 415, introduced by Gervin-Hawkins, mandates the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to conduct a study on mold contamination in housing developments that receive financial assistance from the department. The study will focus on identifying the number of incidents and their causes, utilizing existing resources. The department is required to prepare a written report summarizing the study's findings and recommending preventive and remedial actions by September 1, 2026.

The bill also establishes an expiration date for the Act, set for September 1, 2027, and specifies that it will take effect on September 1, 2025. This legislative initiative aims to address mold issues in housing developments supported by state financial assistance, ensuring that the department provides actionable insights to mitigate such problems in the future.
