The Fit Future Act establishes the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, a federal advisory body consisting of up to 30 members appointed by the President to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles across the country. The Council will advise the President and Secretary of Health and Human Services on strategies including reestablishing the Presidential Fitness Test in schools, creating youth fitness challenges, partnering with professional athletes and sports organizations, and addressing childhood obesity as a national security concern. Council members will serve two-year terms without pay but can receive travel reimbursement, and the group will be staffed by an Executive Director and supported administratively by the Department of Health and Human Services. Funding will come from appropriations to the Department of Health and Human Services and potentially from the National Foundation on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition, though no specific dollar amounts are authorized in the legislation. The President retains authority to terminate the Council at any time.
