Community water fluoridation; create task force to study the practice of.

HB 1391 creates a task force to study community water fluoridation in Mississippi, examining both its oral health benefits and potential negative consequences. The task force, composed of 8 members (including legislative appointees and health department representatives), must complete its study and submit recommendations to the legislature by December 1, 2026. The bill does not change current fluoridation practices but directs the task force to determine if negatives outweigh positives. This bill died in committee in February 2026 and is no longer active.
