An Act providing municipalities to opt out of fluoridation treatments
HD 4176 allows municipalities with existing artificial fluoridation programs to end them through a local ordinance. This requires a petition signed by at least ten registered voters presented to the local legislative body (like a City Council or Town Meeting). The bill also permits water officials to suspend fluoridation immediately if they determine it poses risks to consumers, workers, infrastructure, or the environment. It directly affects towns, cities, or districts currently operating artificial water fluoridation programs.
