What it does
The bill asks the Office of Management and Budget to create a new job code. The code would track strength and conditioning coaches in the federal job system. If OMB says no, it must explain why to Congress. The bill does not spend money or make new rules.
Who it affects
The bill does not cost anyone money right now. It only asks for a study. Better job codes could help the government understand the job market better. A new code might split data in ways that hide trends.
One thing to notice
The bill asks for a job code that requires a bachelor's degree. This could leave out people who do the work without a degree.
