Aviation Medication Transparency Act of 2025
Introduced Apr 2, 2025 by Rep. Sean Casten
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to compile, publish, and annually update a list of medications that may be safely prescribed to pilots and air traffic controllers for the purposes of issuing a medical certification. The list must be publicly available on the FAA website and distributed to those seeking a license and medical certification.
Currently, the FAA does not have a list of approved medications. However, the FAA does have lists for Aviation Medical Examiners of Do Not Issue medications and Do Not Fly medications.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
