Relating to a study regarding the effects of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals on public health.
SB 768 directs the University of Houston to lead a study on perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS) and their health impacts. The study will examine PFAS in food packaging, drinking water sources, and workplace materials used by firefighters and chemical workers. It requires a report to the Texas legislature by December 1, 2026, detailing findings on public health effects. This bill is procedural - it mandates research but does not change regulations or impose new requirements. The study expires December 31, 2026, with no direct impact on specific groups beyond informing future public health decisions.
