This bill amends the Revised School Code of 1976 by adding a new section, 1278e, which mandates that starting in the 2026-2027 school year, all school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies in Michigan must implement the presidential fitness test. This requirement is to be carried out in accordance with the guidelines established under federal Executive Order No. 14327.

The bill emphasizes the importance of physical fitness in schools and aligns state requirements with federal initiatives aimed at promoting health and wellness among students. By incorporating the presidential fitness test, the legislation seeks to enhance physical education programs and encourage a culture of fitness within Michigan's educational institutions.
