What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration to review and update its rules about mental health for pilots and air traffic controllers. The FAA must follow recommendations from two expert groups and review these rules every year. The updates must allow more mental health medications to be safely used by aviation workers, give more authority to medical examiners, and improve the process for getting special medical certificates that let people with certain health conditions still work in aviation. The bill also lets the FAA recruit more medical examiners and run public campaigns to reduce the stigma around mental health care for aviation workers.
