The bill amends several sections of Kansas law regarding public water systems, specifically prohibiting the use of fluoride additives in these systems. Key amendments include the removal of provisions that previously allowed water districts to fluoridate their public water supply, which required public notice and the possibility of a vote by the district's electors. The new language explicitly states that no primary drinking water standard or regulation may require the addition of fluorides to public water supplies, thereby eliminating any legal basis for fluoridation.

Additionally, the bill repeals existing sections related to the fluoridation process and updates definitions and regulations concerning public water supply systems. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining water quality without the use of fluoride additives, aligning with the overall goal of protecting public health. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
