Fit Future Act

Key Points

• This bill creates a new group called the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. The group will have up to 30 members chosen by the President to help improve the health and physical activity of people across the country.
• A major goal of the bill is to bring back the Presidential Fitness Test in schools. This test would be used to measure how fit students are and give out awards to those who do well in physical education classes.
• The bill treats childhood obesity and inactive lifestyles as a threat to national security. It aims to make sure the future workforce and military are healthy and ready for service by setting new fitness goals for young people.
• The council would work with professional athletes, sports leagues, and community groups to encourage everyone to be more active. They will also run campaigns to promote American sports traditions and healthy eating habits.
• Members of the council will serve two-year terms without pay, though they can be paid back for travel costs. The Department of Health and Human Services will provide the money and staff needed to run the council's daily operations.
