S. 3258 — Aviation Medication Transparency Act of 2025
What it does
This bill requires the FAA to publish and maintain a publicly accessible website listing medications that are safe for pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation trainees to take while maintaining their medical certification. The list must be user-friendly, updated annually, and developed with input from aviation schools, pilot unions, air traffic controller unions, and medical experts. It aims to reduce confusion about which medications disqualify someone from flying.
