This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to publish and keep updated a public list of medications and treatments that may be safely prescribed to an airman for the FAA’s medical certification process. The FAA must post the list on a public website within 1 year after the bill becomes law and update it annually.
The list must be drafted in consultation with the Aeromedical Innovation and Modernization Working Group, certified bargaining representatives of air traffic controllers, the principal organization representing the largest certified collective bargaining representative of airline pilots, and any other stakeholders the task group finds relevant. The list must be comprehensive, user-friendly, and given to airmen when they first seek a license and medical certification.
Required contents of the list include any average period an airman must limit or stop duties to stabilize on an approved medication, a list of medications the FAA has designated as "Do Not Issue," a way for doctors or medical providers to contact the FAA about the list, and any other information the Administrator considers appropriate.
The FAA must publish the list within one year of enactment and must update it annually after initial publication.
