S. 3412, the Presidential Fitness Test Act of 2025, establishes the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition to advise the President on reviving and improving the Presidential Fitness Test as a school-based assessment tool. The council will consist of up to 30 presidential appointees serving two-year terms and will recommend strategies to promote youth fitness programs, expand sports participation opportunities, and address childhood obesity as a national security concern. The council will be administered by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, with members serving without pay but eligible for travel reimbursement, and funding will come from appropriations made available for the Presidential Youth Fitness Program. The council is set to automatically terminate two years after the law takes effect unless the President extends it. The bill frames youth fitness as critical to military readiness and workforce development, aiming to foster a healthier generation of Americans through school programs and community partnerships.
