Bills introduced to end fluoride requirement in Arkansas drinking water
State Sen. Clint Penzo, R-Springdale, and state Rep. Matt Duffield, R-Russellville, introduced two bills Wednesday to change Arkansas’ policy on its use. Senate Bill 2 would repeal the “statewide fluoridation program,” which requires water utilities serving more than 5,000 people to follow State Board of Health rules on fluoride levels.
