| This legislation allows counties, via the adoption of a resolution, the option of being included or excluded from the Department of Natural Resources' requirement to fluoridate potable water. Current law requires 10 percent of the voters in the last election to sign a petition, then approval through a referendum, to opt out of water fluoridation. The challenge will be with a water system serving multiple political jurisdictions, when some may opt out and others not. |
