The bill, S.B. No. 731, mandates that certain multifamily residential developments, specifically those that receive low-income housing tax credits, are required to install water pressure boosters. This requirement applies to developments that are four stories or more in height and are designated for individuals aged 55 and older. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs is tasked with ensuring compliance with this requirement by December 31, 2026, and is authorized to adopt rules for its implementation.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the department must submit a report to the legislature by March 1, 2027, detailing the number of developments in compliance with the new water pressure booster requirement, as well as reasons for any noncompliance and actions taken to address it. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
