HB1205 is critical for the health and welfare of the citizens of Arkansas. HB1205 could be one of the most important bills filed this session. Secure Arkansas backs this bill wholeheartedly and needs your help to get it passed.

This bill circumvents rhetoric and endorsements and goes directly to accountability for the water/people treatment product delivered. In recent years there had been many inconsistencies about the contents of the products currently used for the treatment of tooth decay via the water supply. We believe that consumers have the right to know what a product contains, whether it is safe for all to consume and where it came from. Disclosure of content, contamination and origin are essential for us to have any confidence in chemicals being added to our water for treatment of any disease. HB1205 will insure that the regulations of Standard 60 (FEDERAL and STATE laws) be followed exactly. In short, it lets the facts declare themselves.

Secure Arkansas has already had some success in blocking bad bills. SB3, a bill that would require translators for certain jobs was pulled! We are still keeping an eye on the sustainable development bills, but Denny Altes has promised to pull down those bills after pressure from Secure Arkansas.
