New White House Council for Fathers and Sons

If enacted, the bill would create the White House Council on Fathers and Sons inside the Executive Office of the President. The Council would include Cabinet secretaries, senior agency officials, and faith-community representatives the President designates. The Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Intergovernmental Affairs would chair the Council and appoint a Director to hire staff. The Council would promote fathers' and sons' roles, address deaths of despair, foster mental, physical, spiritual, and economic wellbeing, and review federal programs affecting men and boys. Not later than 150 days after enactment, the Council would report to the President on agency programs and its plans. The Council's work would use amounts already authorized for HHS, and each agency would pay its own participation costs.
