LB 147 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to approval and regulation of adding fluoride to the water supply of certain political subdivisions

LB 147 eliminates the mandatory requirement for certain water providers in Nebraska to add fluoride to drinking water. It allows public or private water entities not currently required to add fluoride to do so voluntarily, following rules set by the Department of Health and Human Services. The bill repeals the existing requirement (Section 71-3305) and the previous version of the regulation (Section 71-3306). This change directly affects water suppliers serving communities where fluoride addition was previously mandated.
