HB 2471, the "Tennessee Fluoride-Free Water Act," prohibits public water systems from adding fluoride to drinking water and bans the sale of bottled water containing added fluoride. It requires public water systems to test for naturally occurring fluoride above EPA levels, take corrective action to reduce it, and notify customers. Bottled water sellers must label products with naturally occurring fluoride levels and display a warning if levels exceed 0.7 mg/L. The bill applies directly to water utilities, bottled water manufacturers, and retailers in Tennessee, creating new labeling requirements and enforcement penalties for violations.
