Trump Executive Order Tracker

Strengthens the “Saving College Sports” Executive Order from July 2025 by establishing a federal framework to stabilize college athletics, combining new policy standards with coordinated federal enforcement by directing agencies to enforce consistent rules on eligibility, transfers, and compensation, prohibiting improper name, image, and likeness (NIL) schemes and the use of federal funds for athlete or coaching payments, and encouraging a national governing body to implement reforms such as five-year eligibility limits, transfer restrictions, medical coverage, and equitable revenue-sharing to protect women’s and Olympic sports.
 
The order further assigns implementation roles across the federal government, directing the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in coordination with the General Services Administration (GSA), to issue compliance guidance, requiring federal contracting and grantmaking agencies to assess universities’ eligibility for federal funding, tasking the Department of Education (ED) with developing reporting requirements on roster sizes and athletic spending, empowering the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to oversee agent-related practices, and directing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to challenge conflicting state laws, and urges Congress to pass legislation to address the issue. Sets August 1, 2026 as the effective date for the order’s provisions and requires agencies to begin implementation planning immediately.

Directs the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to modernize the nation's child-welfare system by improving data collection, updating state systems, expanding the use of advanced technology, and publishing annual performance scorecards. Establishes the "Fostering the Future" initiative to create new education, employment, and support pathways for youth in or transitioning out of foster care while expanding partnerships with faith-based organizations. 

Renews 22 federal advisory committees across multiple agencies through September 30, 2027. Assigns responsibility for each committee to the relevant agency head and replaces earlier committee renewal provisions from Executive Order 14109 of September 29, 2023.  

Directs the Secretary of Education to overhaul and expand the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System to ensure greater transparency in college admissions practices. Mandates technological upgrades, enhanced reporting requirements, and stricter data accuracy checks to expose and prevent unlawful race-based admissions policies. 

Directs federal agencies to overhaul their grant processes by requiring senior appointees to rigorously review discretionary grants and funding announcements for alignment with national interests and agency priorities. It mandates enhanced accountability, prohibits funding for certain controversial initiatives, and authorizes termination of grants that no longer serve agency goals or the public interest. 
 
Within 30 days, agency heads must review the agency's standard grant terms and conditions and submit a report to the OMB detailing whether their discretionary grant terms allow termination for convenience, including when awards no longer support program goals or national interests, and provide data on how many active awards include such provisions. Agency heads should then take steps to revise terms and conditions of existing discretionary grants. 

Reestablishes the Presidential Fitness Test and revitalizes the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition to promote youth participation in sports, improve national health, and address rising rates of obesity and inactivity. Directs federal agencies to support these initiatives and outlines strategies for nationwide engagement and fitness programming.
 
This executive order reestablishes the Presidential Fitness Test and revitalizes the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition to address the national health crisis and promote youth participation in sports. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in coordination with the Secretary of Education, to administer the test and support the Council's initiatives, which include developing school-based fitness programs, setting national youth fitness programs, setting goals, and launching public campaigns. The Council is also tasked with advising the President on strategies to combat childhood obesity and inactivity, enhance military readiness, and foster a culture of physical excellence across all sectors of society.

Requires coordinated federal action to develop a skilled nuclear workforce via apprenticeships, education grants, and national lab access.

The Order seeks to promote artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and proficiency among Americans through integration of AI into education, providing training for educators, and fostering early exposure to AI concepts and technology to develop an AI- ready workforce. The Order establishes a new interagency White House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence Education to implement policies related to AI education and to establish public-private partnerships to develop online resources focused on teaching K-12 students foundational AI literacy and critical thinking skills. Directs the Secretary of Education to prioritize use of AI in discretionary grant programs for teacher training and the Secretary of Labor to increase participation in AI-related Registered Apprenticeships.
