The bill introduced by Representative Dean aims to prohibit public water systems in Ohio from adding fluoride to the water they supply. To implement this change, the bill enacts a new section, 6109.20, in the Revised Code, which explicitly states that no public water system shall add fluoride to its water.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section 6109.20 of the Revised Code, effectively removing any previous legal provisions that may have allowed for the addition of fluoride in public water systems. This legislative change reflects a significant shift in public health policy regarding water fluoridation in Ohio.
