Make America's Youth Healthy Again Act of 2025
Summary
H.R. 5480 would establish the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, a new advisory body consisting of up to 30 members appointed by the President. Council members would serve two-year terms and could be reappointed. The bill is currently under consideration by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
The Council would be tasked with recommending strategies to reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test as a main assessment tool for a Presidential Fitness Award, develop school-based programs that reward physical education excellence, and expand sports participation opportunities at global, national, state, and local levels. The Council would also recommend fitness goals for American youth and campaigns to promote active lifestyles and good nutrition, potentially partnering with professional athletes and sports organizations.
If enacted, this bill would create a formal advisory structure focused on youth health and fitness initiatives, though the specific programs and their funding would depend on future Council recommendations and implementation by the administration.
