AI Summary
This bill amends the state's education laws to require public schools serving grades kindergarten through five to provide at least 100 minutes of supervised, unstructured "free-play" recess per week, with at least 20 consecutive minutes of recess per day. Additionally, the bill prohibits elementary schools from decreasing the amount of time they allocate for recess, even if they are required to adopt new academic standards or curriculum.
