An act relating to prohibiting the fluoridation of public water supplies

This bill aims to stop the practice of adding fluoride to public water supplies in Vermont. The proposal is intended to address concerns about the health effects of fluoridation. If passed, it would mean that public water systems would no longer be allowed to add fluoride to the water.

Supporters of the bill argue that it protects individual choice and public health by allowing residents to decide whether they want fluoride in their water. They believe that fluoridation can lead to health issues and that people should have the right to access unfluoridated water.

Critics of the bill contend that fluoridation is a safe and effective public health measure that helps prevent tooth decay, especially in children. They argue that removing fluoride from water supplies could lead to an increase in dental health problems and that the bill undermines scientific consensus on the benefits of fluoridation.
