West Virginia Healthy Lifestyles Act of 2005

The West Virginia Healthy Lifestyles Act of 2005 is a West Virginia state law enacted in 2005. Signed into law by Governor Joe Manchin III, the act's purpose was to address obesity in the state.〔Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, "(West Virginia Lifestyles Act of 2005 Evaluation: A Project of Information for Action: School Policies to Prevent Childhood Obesity ) (February 10, 2009).〕 The state legislature found in 2005 that "obesity is a problem of epidemic proportions" in West Virginia.〔(House Bill 2816 ), West Virginia Department of Education.〕
==Provisions==
Introduced as House Bill 2816, the West Virginia Health Lifestyles Act consists of five school-based mandates which require health education assessments, fitness assessments, physical education, body mass index (BMI) assessments and the availability of healthy beverages in schools.〔(Obesity and Overweight for Professionals: State Programs: Funded States: West Virginia ), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.〕
The law restricts elementary schools, middle schools, and junior high schools from selling soft drinks in areas accessible to students during the school day. High schools are allowed to sell soft drinks in vending machines during the school day only if they also offer healthy drink options as well and only if at least fifty percent of the drinks available are considered to be healthy. The law recognizes healthy drinks as water, low-fat milk, juices made one hundred percent from fruits and vegetables, and other juice drinks with a minimum of twenty percent real juice. This portion of the law states that, "Seventy-five percent of the profits from the sale of healthy beverages and soft drinks shall be allocated by a majority vote of the faculty senate of each school and twenty-five percent of the profits from the sale of healthy beverages and soft drinks shall be allocated to the purchase of necessary supplies by the principal of the school."〔
In addition to the school-based mandates, the act created the Office of Healthy Lifestyles within the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, a partnership to encourage healthy lifestyles by children and families in the state, and an interest bearing account known as the Healthy Lifestyles Fund.〔
