PLAY Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to set up a federal Task Force on Child Wellness and Physical Activity Infrastructure within 180 days. The task force would include leaders from agencies such as Interior, EPA, Agriculture, Housing, Transportation, Defense, Education, and the Army Corps of Engineers, with Health and Human Services and Interior as co-chairs. It would look at barriers to children reaching nearby outdoor play spaces, make recommendations on active play and agency coordination, and identify models such as public-private partnerships for building play areas. The task force would send a preliminary report and a final report to Congress and would end one year after the final report.
