The bill H. 4258 introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly seeks to amend the state's Code of Laws by adding a new section, 44-55-35, which explicitly prohibits the fluoridation of drinking water supplies. This prohibition applies to all public water systems within South Carolina, preventing the addition of any chemical compounds that contain the fluoride ion, such as sodium fluoride, sodium silicofluoride, and hydrofluorosilic acid.

If enacted, this legislation would take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor, marking a significant change in the state's approach to water treatment and public health policy regarding fluoride use in drinking water.
