Mississippi HB1503 prohibits the Department of Health from requiring fluoridation in water systems.

Mississippi HB1503 amends the Mississippi Code to prohibit the State Board of Health from requiring community, nontransient, noncommunity, public, or semi-public water systems to fluoridate their water or install fluoridation treatment equipment. The bill specifies that the Board may still adopt rules and regulations for public water systems, but they must not be more stringent than federal regulations unless expressly required by law. The prohibition on fluoridation requirements takes effect from July 1, 2026.
