A new bill in West Virginia might require kids to spend additional time in PE.

The new piece of legislation called, The Move To Improve Act, made it through the Senate in February 2014 and will now undergo review by the House.

According to a WSAZ News3 report, the bill requires elementary school children to get at least 30 minutes of PE, three times a week.

For middle school students the bill requires one full period of PE per day with at least 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. High schoolers would have the option of participating in an elective lifetime physical education course, but would be required to have only one full credit of PE upon graduation.
