Bill > HB2471

This bill, known as the "Tennessee Fluoride-Free Water Act," prohibits public water systems in Tennessee from adding fluoride or any fluoride-containing compounds to drinking water intended for human consumption, and also bans the sale of bottled water with added fluoride within the state. For bottled water that naturally contains fluoride exceeding a certain level, it requires clear labeling of the fluoride concentration and a warning if it surpasses 0.7 milligrams per liter, which is considered above the recommended limit for optimal health. If a public water system's water is found to have naturally occurring fluoride above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG), the system must conduct monthly testing, take corrective actions to reduce the fluoride levels, and inform its customers. The bill also establishes penalties for violations, with higher penalties for violations related to the prohibition of added fluoride in public and bottled water, and outlines procedures for enforcement and legal action.
