On the heels of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being confirmed as the new U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Texas has followed the “Make America Healthy Again” path with its own legislation to address health and wellness.
Senate Bill (SB) 25, dubbed the “Making Texas Healthy Again” bill on Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s list of priority legislation, was filed by Sen. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brenham) and is designed to promote healthy living by setting standards for physical activity in schools, enhancing nutrition education in higher education, establishing a nutrition advisory framework, and improving food labeling practices.
