The bill, H.B. No. 1922, amends Chapter 2272 of the Government Code by adding a new section, 2272.010, which specifies the accrual of a cause of action related to construction liability claims. According to the new provision, for the purposes of this chapter, a cause of action will accrue on the date that the report required by Section 2272.003 is postmarked by the United States Postal Service. However, it clarifies that for all other purposes—such as determining the date of an occurrence under an insurance policy or assessing whether an action is barred by a statute of limitations or repose—the accrual date remains unaffected by this new section.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, providing a clear guideline for when a cause of action is considered to have accrued in the context of construction liability claims, while maintaining the existing rules for other legal contexts.
