AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
This resolution encourages, but does not require, Utah public schools to dedicate more time to physical education, outdoor recess, and unstructured free play, while recommending thoughtful limits on screen and digital device use during the school day, particularly for younger students, in favor of textbooks, printed materials, and hands-on learning. It also calls on school leaders, parents, and policymakers to work together to promote movement and real-world interaction and to monitor how these practices affect student mental health. As a resolution rather than a change to state law, it creates no new legal requirements for schools but directs that a copy be sent to the State Board of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Utah PTA, and every local school district.
