An Act To Prohibit Fluoridation Of The Public Water Supply

This bill prohibits public water systems in Maine from adding fluoride to drinking water beyond naturally occurring levels. It repeals existing laws that allowed fluoridation with department approval and replaces them with a strict ban, requiring systems to cease adding fluoride within 90 days of the law's effective date. Violators face daily civil fines of $1,000 per day. The law directly affects all municipal and community water systems currently fluoridating their supply, requiring them to stop the practice or seek written department approval (which is effectively prohibited under the new rule).
