SB700 bans the use of any additive to a public water supply that is not for the explicit purpose of improving water quality.
The Senate passed SB700 on April 16, 2025, by a vote of 27 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the fluoridization of public water, regardless of its alleged health benefits or effects, amounts to a taxpayer-funded, forced-medication program. Every individual has a fundamental right to medical freedom, as no person or entity has any legitimate authority to rule over another’s non-injurious healthcare decisions, particularly what they may eat, drink, or consume. Arbitrarily compelling citizens to pay for the addition of fluoride—an industrial chemical that critics claim is a dangerous developmental neurotoxicant (e.g., lead or mercury)—to public drinking water, all under the guise of “preventative” dental treatment, violates the natural rights retained by the people according to the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment.
