A BILL To provide for the publication by the Secretary of Health and Human Services of physical activity recommenda- tions for Americans.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to publish physical activity recommendations for Americans every 10 years, starting in 2028. The recommendations must be based on the latest scientific evidence and cover the general public as well as specific population subgroups like children and individuals with disabilities. The bill also requires federal agencies to consider the Secretary's recommendations when issuing their own physical activity guidance, while preserving existing authority for agencies to support and communicate research findings. Importantly, the bill does not establish any binding federal physical fitness standards.
