Kansas bill to ban fluoride additives in public water supplies awaits a new session

The lead issue

Kansas lawmakers introduced bills in 2026 to ban fluoride in public water, prohibit geoengineering and weather modification, phase out property taxes, and protect campus speech; none passed before the session ended. In 2025 Kansas enacted a right-to-try law for individualized treatments and, over a veto, removed local health officers' power to ban public gatherings.
