MINOR
The bill now requires cities to follow existing public health laws before stopping water fluoridation, rather than creating a new internal justification process. Additionally, the notice period for discontinuing fluoridation has been expanded to include social media pages alongside newspapers and websites.
Scope change
The bill's scope shifted from creating a standalone discontinuance procedure to deferring to the Public Health Law for determining when fluoridation can stop.
REQUIREMENT

Replaced the requirement for cities to issue their own internal determination with a mandate to comply with section 1100-a of the Public Health Law.

Added social media pages as a required platform for publishing the 90-day notice of fluoridation discontinuance.
