AI Summary
This bill directs the State Department of Education to create guidelines for administering the Presidential Fitness Test, a physical fitness assessment for students, starting in the 2026-2027 school year. These guidelines, which will be based on recommendations from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, must include training for test administrators, procedures for exempting students with disabilities or medical conditions, and an option for parents to opt their children out of the test. School districts will then use the results of this test to promote the benefits of physical activity and good nutrition, adjust physical activity programs, and encourage student participation in exercise both inside and outside of school. The State Board of Education is authorized to create necessary rules to implement these provisions, and the act will take effect on July 1, 2026, with an emergency clause to allow for immediate implementation.
