An Act relative to fluoridation

This bill proposes to ban the addition of fluoride to all public water supplies in Massachusetts. It would require any existing municipal fluoridation programs to stop within ten days of the law taking effect. The legislation cites concerns about potential health risks to vulnerable groups, ethical issues regarding forced medication, and environmental contamination as reasons for the ban. While the ban applies to public water systems, residents would still be allowed to purchase fluoridated water for personal use if they choose.
