New Hampshire HB1507 mandates public schools to provide a daily recess of 45 to 60 minutes for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.

New Hampshire HB1507 introduces a new section in RSA 194, requiring all public school districts, school administrative units, and charter school boards to establish a policy guaranteeing students in kindergarten through sixth grade a daily recess of 45 to 60 minutes. This recess time must include unstructured peer-to-peer play outside, unless weather conditions pose a safety risk. Schools may adjust recess durations in special circumstances, such as school events or weather conditions. The recess time is separate from physical education and lunch periods and cannot be deducted as punishment.
