A bill to amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to establish minimum physical activity requirements, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 s 5181, also known as the "Physical Activity in Schools Act," aims to make changes to the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act in order to set minimum physical activity requirements for students in schools across the United States. The bill seeks to address the issue of childhood obesity and promote healthier lifestyles by ensuring that students engage in regular physical activity during the school day.

Specifically, the bill would require schools to provide students with a minimum amount of time for physical activity each day, with the goal of helping students meet recommended guidelines for exercise. This would include both structured physical education classes as well as opportunities for unstructured play and movement throughout the school day.

In addition to establishing these minimum requirements, the bill also includes provisions for monitoring and reporting on schools' compliance with the new regulations. Schools would be required to track and report on the amount of time students spend engaged in physical activity, as well as any barriers or challenges they face in meeting the requirements. Overall, the Physical Activity in Schools Act aims to promote the health and well-being of students by ensuring that they have access to regular physical activity opportunities during the school day. By setting minimum standards for physical activity in schools, the bill seeks to combat childhood obesity and promote healthier habits among students.
