Bill Intelligence
The bill encourages individuals of the aviation industry to seek help and disclose mental health conditions. It requires regulations updates and annual reviews for mental health special issuance for pilots and air traffic controllers, with a focus on reclassifying medications and improving training for aviation medical examiners. Additionally, the bill authorizes funding for additional aviation medical examiners and requires the implementation of recommendations from the Mental Health and Aviation Medical Clearances Aviation Rulemaking Committee. A public information campaign aims to destigmatize mental health care in the aviation industry.
