Bill Summary
For legislation to further regulate fluoridation of public water supplies. Environment and Natural Resources.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to ban community water fluoridation schemes in Massachusetts. It cites concerns about the negative health effects of even low-dose fluoride exposure, conflicting federal regulations, and the ethics of medicating the public against their will. The bill requires the discontinuation of existing artificial fluoridation of municipal water supplies within 10 days of the law's ratification, while allowing individuals to purchase fluoridated water for personal use if desired. The goal of the bill is to protect the civil rights of residents by ending the mandatory fluoridation of public water supplies.
