House Bill No. 3429 amends the Health and Safety Code by adding Section 341.0335, which mandates that public water supply systems that add fluoride to their drinking water must provide specific information to consumers. This information must be disclosed in a conspicuous manner on each customer's water bill and includes the amount of naturally occurring fluoride in the water, the amount of fluoride added before distribution, and the total combined amount of fluoride present. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the disclosed information must be accurate for water distributed to the customer no more than one week prior to the issuance of the bill.

The provisions of this new section will apply only to water bills issued for billing periods that begin on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This legislation aims to enhance transparency regarding fluoride levels in drinking water, ensuring that consumers are well-informed about the fluoride content they are receiving.
