What SB 1133 does, verified September 7, 2026
This bill aims to improve pupil instruction by requiring preventative health instruction in California public schools. Existing law requires certain areas of study, including physical education, to promote health and vigor. The bill would require the state board of education to consider including information on evidence-based schoolwide programs that support pupils in developing skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. The bill would also require the development of a health education framework that incorporates evidence-based preventative health instruction, including information on nutrition, sleep, movement, stress management, and digital balance. This integrated approach would discuss the interrelationship and balance between these key health factors.
