AI Summary
This bill requires utility systems in Tennessee to obtain a certificate of analysis for any water they sell that contains fluoride, a mineral commonly added to public water supplies to help prevent tooth decay. The utility systems must also post both the certificate of analysis and the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for fluoride online, either on their own website or on the board of utility regulation's website if the utility system does not have its own website. The new requirements will take effect on July 1, 2025, with the stated purpose of promoting transparency about water treatment and the presence of fluoride in public water systems. By mandating these disclosures, the bill aims to provide consumers with more information about the water they drink and the chemicals used in water treatment processes.
