Texas HB785 mandates public schools to adopt a healthy and safe school water plan to ensure safe drinking water.

Texas HB785 requires public school districts to adopt a healthy and safe school water plan. This plan must include provisions for periodic testing for lead in school water sources and reducing exposure to elevated levels of lead. If test results show elevated lead levels, the school district must restrict access to the water source within 48 hours. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will provide guidance to school districts on adopting these plans.
