Bill information
Summary
A bill to require the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to publish the list of medications that the Administrator has compiled for purposes of the medical certification of airmen and air traffic control specialists, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to publicly release a list of medications it uses to decide if pilots and air traffic controllers are medically fit to work. The FAA currently keeps this list private when evaluating medical certificates—official approvals that allow these professionals to do their jobs. The bill affects pilots, air traffic controllers, and the general public who fly. It is currently engrossed, meaning both the House and Senate have passed it and it awaits the President's signature or veto.
