This bill amends Section 11-103.9 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to physical education program requirements in schools. It mandates that public elementary schools provide at least thirty minutes of daily recess for students in full-day pre-kindergarten, full-day kindergarten, and grades one through five as a condition of accreditation. The recess can be divided into segments to fit the school day and must occur outdoors when possible. Additionally, the bill updates the language regarding physical education requirements, specifying that the time spent in recess does not count towards the required sixty minutes of physical education per week.

The bill also emphasizes the importance of aligning physical education instruction with subject matter standards and encourages school districts to provide physical education and daily recess for students in grades six through twelve. It removes previous language that merely encouraged a certain amount of recess and instead establishes a clear requirement for daily recess. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026, and it includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
