Hawaii SB727 mandates water fluoridation and dental insurance coverage monitoring to improve oral health.
Hawaii SB727 requires water suppliers to adjust fluoride levels in public water systems to optimal levels for preventing tooth decay. The Department of Health must provide technical assistance and training to water suppliers and may reimburse them for compliance expenses. The bill also mandates the Department of Health to monitor dental insurance coverage among residents, submit annual reports to the legislature, and confirm when all residents have either obtained or rejected dental insurance coverage. This confirmation triggers a proclamation by the governor.
