Summary
The Tennessee Fluoride‑Free Water Act would make it illegal for public water systems to add any fluoride compounds to drinking water and would forbid the sale of bottled water that contains added fluoride. It also requires public systems to monitor and reduce naturally occurring fluoride that exceeds EPA limits, and to label bottled water that naturally contains high fluoride levels. The measure aims to give consumers more choice and protect health by keeping fluoride out of treated water supplies.
