The bill proposes to prohibit the fluoridation of public water supply systems in Montana. It amends Section 75-6-112 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to include a new provision that explicitly states, "introduce fluoride to a public water supply system" as a prohibited act. This addition aims to prevent the introduction of fluoride into public water supplies, reflecting a significant change in the state's approach to water fluoridation.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 76-4-104, MCA, to reference the new prohibition on fluoride introduction in the context of the rules for administration and enforcement of water supply systems. The amendments ensure that the department responsible for overseeing water supply systems adopts reasonable rules that align with the prohibition, thereby reinforcing the legislative intent to eliminate fluoride from public water supplies.
