This bill establishes the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, a new advisory body of up to 30 members appointed by the President to develop and promote youth fitness initiatives. The Council will recommend strategies for bringing back the Presidential Fitness Test as the main assessment tool for fitness awards, expand youth sports participation, create innovative fitness programs in schools, and partner with professional athletes and sports organizations to promote active lifestyles. The bill also directs the Council to address childhood obesity and sedentary lifestyles, framing them as national security concerns that could affect military readiness. The Secretary of Health and Human Services will provide funding and administrative support for the Council, with members serving two-year terms without salary but receiving travel reimbursement. The Council is set to automatically terminate two years after enactment unless the President extends it.
