Referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Fit for Duty Act creates a bonus pay program to reward active-duty military members who achieve exceptional physical fitness scores. Members who score 90 percent or higher on required fitness tests will receive $500, while those earning perfect scores get $1,000. The bill applies to all branches of the Armed Forces and allows members to earn bonuses repeatedly each time they take a fitness test. These bonus payments are exempt from federal income tax. Each military branch must submit annual reports to Congress detailing how many bonuses were awarded, the total program costs, and the program's impact on military readiness.
