A bill in the Kentucky House of Representatives was introduced that would amend state laws to make water fluoridation programs optional, according to a Jan. 9 report from Courier Journal.
HB 16 does not stop local governments from using fluoride in its water, but protects the state from liability over exposure to fluoride.
A similar bill received a committee hearing in 2024 but was not heard on the floor.
The bill was put forward by State Reps. Mark Hart and David Hale, the report said.
