AN ACT relating to water fluoridation programs.
Amend KRS 211.190 to make water fluoridation programs optional; allow the governing bodies of water systems subject to regulation by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to decide whether they participate in water fluoridation programs; provide that a water fluoridation program in place on the effective date of the Act continues until action is taken by its governing body to end its participation; provide that any decision regarding participation in a water fluoridation program made by the governing body of a water system shall be binding on all water systems it supplies; provide that a governing body, a member or employee of a governing body, or any public or private entity that may be held liable for the actions of a governing body that makes any decision regarding its participation in an optional water fluoridation program shall be immune from civil or criminal liability for acts carried out reasonably and in good faith regarding its decision of whether to participate in the water fluoridation program. HCS (1) Retain original provisions; remove immunity for private entities regarding acts relating to the continuation, termination, or commencement of a water fluoridation program; provide that the immunity is conferred under KRS 65.2003; extend the immunity to discretionary acts; remove the requirement that the immune acts be performed reasonably and in good faith.
Notes: -Kentucky state law requires manufactured fluoride chemicals be added to the water supply without the consent of our citizens. Because of this mandate, local communities in Kentucky have no ability to remove the artificial fluoride from their water as is being done in cities and towns across the nation.
-HB103 would repeal this unfunded mandate so that communities can make their own choices about adding artificial fluoride chemicals to the water supply. The bill would allow the governing body of your local water producer to make the decision. This means that you, as a local water customer, would have the ability to advocate to your water producer to change their practices. As it stands today, the hands of all Kentucky water producers are tied by state law.
-With the EPA currently re-evaluating the practice of water fluoridation, a federal judge ruling water fluoridation poses an "unreasonable risk" to children, and a constant stream of new studies pointing to the risks of fluoride, Kentucky must take action.
