SB 768 proposes a study to be conducted by the University of Houston, in collaboration with the Railroad Commission of Texas and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, to evaluate the effects of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS) on public health. The study will specifically examine the health impacts of these chemicals in produce, meat, and other food and beverage products, including their packaging; in various water sources used for public drinking water; and in equipment or materials that contain PFAS and are commonly in contact with professionals such as firefighters and chemical manufacturing workers. A report summarizing the study's conclusions is required to be submitted to the Texas Legislature by December 1, 2026. The Act is set to expire on December 31, 2026
