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 prior to water quality testing. 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 conducting water quality tests. This provision is aimed at ensuring that public drinking water systems are informed of the commission's intent to investigate complaints regarding their water quality.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, establishing a framework for improved communication between the commission and public drinking water supply systems regarding water quality testing procedures. This change is intended to enhance the responsiveness and accountability of water supply systems in addressing potential water quality issues.
