Congress.gov lists Rep. Jasmine Crockett as an original cosponsor of H.R.3376 on May 13, 2025. The bill text includes grant assistance to replace lead service lines and update treatment plants or water sources because of PFAS contamination. Its latest action remains referral to the House Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment, and the tracker status is Introduced.

TCEQ says EPA announced final National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for six PFAS on April 10, 2024, but also notes May 18, 2026 proposed rules that would allow drinking-water systems up to 2031 to comply with enforceable PFOA/PFOS limits and would rescind regulations for PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DA, and the Hazard Index mixture.
Assessments
Crockett has materially attempted to advance the promise by originally cosponsoring H.R.3376 in the 119th Congress, which includes assistance for lead service line replacement and PFAS-related drinking-water infrastructure. However, the bill remains only introduced/referred and has not delivered removal of lead or PFAS from Texas drinking water. Existing EPA PFAS rules are national, implementation is delayed or subject to proposed rollback, and the evidence does not show full removal in Texas. Because Crockett is still in office and implementation remains pending rather than finally failed, the status is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
