Bill > HB415

This bill directs the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (the department) to conduct a comprehensive study on mold contamination in housing developments that receive financial assistance from the department. Using existing resources, the department will investigate the number of mold incidents and their underlying causes. By September 1, 2026, the department must submit a written report to the legislature that summarizes the study's findings and provides recommended actions for preventing and addressing mold contamination in these housing developments. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, and will automatically expire on September 1, 2027, meaning the study and reporting requirements are time-limited. The primary goal of this legislation appears to be improving the understanding of mold-related issues in publicly supported housing and developing strategies to mitigate these problems.
