Prohibit adding fluoride to public water supply systems
House Bill 498 aimed to prohibit the addition of fluoride to public water supply systems across the state. The bill would have amended existing state law to make introducing fluoride into a public water supply system a prohibited act. This change would have directly affected public water providers and the communities they serve by ending the practice of water fluoridation. It also sought to align the department's rule-making authority with this new prohibition.
