A concurrent resolution is how the House and the Senate settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.

What this bill would do

This resolution establishes the Congressional Fitness Challenge, a national recognition program intended to promote physical fitness and personal achievement. The program utilizes voluntary, performance-based fitness tests including running, pull-ups, sit-ups, shuttle runs, and sit-and-reaches. Eligible participants are students aged 6 through 17, and tests must be administered by certified fitness professionals. Various entities, such as schools or Members of Congress, may act as sponsors. Participants who meet specific benchmarks can receive recognition at Gold, Silver, or Bronze levels.
