Relating to the adoption of a certain plumbing code by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners.
HB 747 requires the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners to adopt two specific plumbing codes: the Uniform Plumbing Code (as of May 31, 2001) and the 2015 International Plumbing Code. This affects plumbers, contractors, and local governments in Texas, as they must follow these adopted codes for plumbing system design, installation, and maintenance. The bill updates existing law to specify these exact codes and sets a deadline for the Board to adopt implementing rules by December 1, 2025. It takes effect September 1, 2025, ensuring consistent plumbing standards across the state.
