The bill amends the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act to include a new section that prohibits the addition of fluoride or any fluoride-containing substances to public water systems. Under this new provision, water suppliers in Pennsylvania are required to cease the addition of fluoride within 30 days of the bill's effective date. Additionally, local governments and political subdivisions are barred from enacting any ordinances or regulations that would allow or mandate the fluoridation of public water systems.

Water suppliers currently adding fluoride must submit a report to the Department of Environmental Resources within 90 days, detailing their compliance with the new prohibition, including the cessation date and the methods used to stop fluoridation. The Department is also tasked with posting these reports on its website. Violations of this new section will be treated as violations under existing law, with each day of noncompliance considered a separate offense. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
