Promoting Healthy Communities and Preventing Childhood Obesity |
|
This report documents the increasing interest in adopting policies designed to promote healthy communities and prevent childhood obesity that the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) has witnessed among state legislatures. It follows the trends that NCSL reported in its 2009 publication, Promoting Healthy Communities and Reducing Childhood Obesity: Legislative Options, which summarized proposed and enacted state legislation in 17 topic areas during the 2007 and 2008 legislative sessions. This report focuses on enacted legislation only--the emphasis is on policy results--for just one year--2009.
