Bill > S3258

This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator to create and maintain a comprehensive, publicly accessible online list of medications that can be safely prescribed to aviation professionals seeking medical certification, including airmen and air traffic control specialists. The list must be developed within one year of the bill's enactment through consultation with various stakeholders like aviation unions, educational institutions, and professional organizations. The medication list will cover both prescription and over-the-counter medications, include a "Do Not Issue" section, provide details about potential duty limitations while stabilizing on certain medications, and offer contact information for medical providers to seek clarification. The list must be user-friendly and accessible, designed to help aviation professionals understand which medications are approved for use without compromising their medical certification. The FAA Administrator is required to update this list annually to ensure it remains current and reflective of the latest medical guidance and safety standards in aviation.
