Summary

The bill mandates that public elementary schools offering full‑day pre‑kindergarten through fifth grade give students at least 150 minutes of physical education each week, plus an additional 60 minutes of other physical activity and daily recess. It also directs the State Board of Education to promote physical education for middle and high school students and to set curriculum standards. The goal is to increase regular physical activity for students and prevent its use as punishment.
