Bill > S0743

This bill, titled "Fluoride Ban," proposes to amend South Carolina law to prohibit the addition of fluoride to public water systems. Specifically, it would define "fluoride" to include common chemical compounds used for water fluoridation, such as fluorosilicic acid, sodium fluorosilicate, and sodium fluoride. The bill then adds a new section that explicitly forbids the addition of fluoride to any public water system or any water intended for introduction into such a system. Furthermore, it prevents local governments from passing ordinances that require or allow fluoride to be added to public water, and it prohibits licensed bottled water operators from adding fluoride to their products, also barring the sale of imported bottled water that contains fluoride.
