Bill > S397

This bill, the Promoting Physical Activity for Americans Act, requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to publish periodic reports (every 10 years) providing physical activity recommendations for the general public and specific population subgroups, such as children or individuals with disabilities. The reports are to be based on the latest scientific and medical evidence, and updated reports must be published every 5 years to highlight best practices and continuing issues related to physical activity. Federal agencies proposing to issue different physical activity recommendations must consider the recommendations provided in these reports, but the bill does not establish any binding physical fitness standards as federal law or regulation.
