in effect
Proclamation 10943 is a presidential proclamation signed May 24, 2025, designating May 2025 as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. It is a symbolic declaration with no binding legal force; it calls on Americans to make physical activity part of their daily lives.
No laws, regulations, funding levels, or agency authorities change as a result of this proclamation. The document references two previously signed Executive Orders — one expanding children’s sports participation (from the president’s first term) and one restricting transgender women and girls from competing in female sports categories — but those orders were separate actions and are not created or modified here. The proclamation also references the existing Make America Healthy Again Commission as an ongoing initiative, but does not alter its mandate or resources.
No specific group acquires new rights, obligations, or benefits directly from this proclamation. Americans are encouraged, but not required, to increase physical activity. Organizations involved in youth sports, public health, or fitness promotion may use the designation for awareness campaigns, but are under no legal obligation to act.
