The bill introduced by Representative Dean aims to enact a new section 6109.20 of the Revised Code, which explicitly prohibits public water systems from adding fluoride to the water they supply. This new provision is intended to ensure that fluoride is not included in the public water supply, reflecting a significant change in public health policy regarding water fluoridation.

Additionally, the bill includes the repeal of the existing section 6109.20 of the Revised Code, effectively removing any previous legal framework that may have allowed for the addition of fluoride to public water systems. This dual action of enacting a new prohibition while repealing the old law underscores a clear legislative intent to eliminate fluoride from public water supplies in Ohio.
