YourVoice.Now Summary
Health officials would publish exercise advice for Americans by 2029, then every 10 years — none of it binding
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. The Department of Health and Human Services would have to publish advice on how much physical activity Americans need. The first report would be due by December 31, 2029. New reports would follow at least every 10 years. The advice must rest on current science. It must include tips for groups like children and people with disabilities. An update report would come within five years of the first. Federal health programs would take the advice into account. No fitness standard in the bill could be forced on any person.
