AB 590 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: definition of athletic training. (FE)

AB 590 revises the statutory definition of "physical activity" in section 448.95(7) to include moderate or greater participation in exercise, sports, recreation, wellness, fitness, or employment activities. It specifically clarifies that "moderate participation" means activities increasing heart and breathing rates without making conversation difficult. This is a definitional change to the statutes, not a new policy affecting specific groups or programs. The bill was introduced in October 2025 and referred to the Health Committee.
