Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
The STRONG Act directs the Office of Management and Budget to consider creating a separate occupational classification code for strength and conditioning coaches within the federal Standard Occupational Classification system, which is used by government agencies to collect and analyze employment data. Currently, strength and conditioning coaches are classified under broader occupational categories, but the bill argues they have specialized training, education, and certification that distinguishes them from related professions like athletic trainers or physical therapists. If the Office of Management and Budget decides not to create the separate code during its next system revision, it must submit a report to Congress explaining the decision within 30 days. The bill requires no new federal funding to implement and simply asks for consideration of the reclassification as part of routine system updates.
