What are the regulations on fluoridating drinking water?
Assembly Bill 733, signed into law in 1995, requires large water systems to fluoridate their public water supplies. It also directs CDHS to seek funding for fluoridation. In April 1998, CDHS adopted regulations to enforce the water fluoridation requirements in AB 733. Senate Bill 96, passed in 2004, further reinforced community water fluoridation as a statewide public health priority and preempted local regulations.
