H.B. No. 3441 proposes an amendment to the Health and Safety Code of Texas, specifically by adding Section 431.118, which establishes the liability of vaccine manufacturers for advertising vaccines that cause harm. Under this new provision, a manufacturer can be held liable if they advertise a vaccine in Texas and that vaccine results in injury to an individual. If a claimant successfully brings an action against the manufacturer, the court is required to award actual damages, as well as court costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred during the legal process.

The bill stipulates that the changes will only apply to causes of action that arise on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This legislation aims to hold vaccine manufacturers accountable for the safety of their products as advertised, thereby providing a legal recourse for individuals harmed by vaccines they were led to believe were safe.
