Hawaii HB540 prohibits public water suppliers from adding fluoridation chemicals to drinking water.
Hawaii HB540 aims to ensure safe water by prohibiting all suppliers of public water from adding fluoridation chemicals. The bill cites research linking fluoride to neurotoxicity, lower IQs in children, and endocrine disruption. It also notes that formula-fed infants are exposed to high doses of fluoride when fluoridated water is used to mix their formula. The legislation preempts any conflicting laws and voids existing regulations that allow fluoride in public water systems.
