Bill > HR2592

This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator to publish and maintain a comprehensive, user-friendly list of medications and treatments that can be safely prescribed to airmen for medical certification purposes within one year of the bill's enactment. The list must be developed through consultation with key stakeholders, including the Aeromedical Innovation and Modernization Working Group, air traffic controllers' representatives, airline pilots' collective bargaining representatives, and other relevant stakeholders. The published list will include detailed information such as: medications designated as "Do Not Issue", average periods of time airmen might need limited duties while stabilizing on approved medications, a contact mechanism for medical providers to ask questions, and explanations for why certain medications are allowed or prohibited. The FAA Administrator is required to update this list annually, ensuring it remains current and provides clear guidance for airmen seeking medical certification. This legislation aims to increase transparency and provide clear medical guidelines for aviation professionals, ultimately supporting both safety and professional clarity in the aviation industry.
