The bill, H.B. No. 5206, amends the Health and Safety Code by adding a new section, 341.0317, which pertains to the notice requirements for public drinking water supply systems before water quality testing is conducted. Specifically, it allows the commission to provide notice to these systems, which source their water from underground, no more than 24 hours in advance of the intent to perform water quality testing. This testing is aimed at investigating complaints related to the water quality of the public drinking water supply system.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025. This legislative change is intended to enhance communication between the commission and public drinking water supply systems, ensuring that they are informed prior to any testing that may affect their operations or public perception.
