AR SB468

Residents of counties served by public water systems (serving 5,000+ persons) may vote on whether to fluoridate their water supply through a county-level election

Elections can be triggered by petition signed by at least 5% of votes cast for county clerk in the last election, or by majority vote of the county quorum court

Petitions must be filed at least 120 days before the general election, and subsequent elections on the same issue cannot be held for at least 4 years

If a majority of qualified electors in each county served by the public water system vote against fluoridation, the system must cease fluoridation within 30 days of certification

Voter election results override any decisions made by the public water system's board of directors regarding fluoridation
