What does Executive Order 13824 do?

EO 13824 revoked EO 13545 and amended EO 13265 to rename and revise the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. It directed Health and Human Services to develop a national youth-sports strategy, with attention to underserved communities, and specified advisory council work. HHS records show the revised council met in 2018. The order did not fund a particular local sports program or establish that participation increased.

Administration position: The stated participation and health benefits were policy reasons; local outcomes require independent data.
