Transportation - Aviation - Passenger Health and Safety (Aviation Health and Safety Act)

SB 505, the Aviation Health and Safety Act, requires the Maryland Aviation Administration to create medical and legal forms for passengers traveling involuntarily in restraints (detained individuals). Flight crews must distribute and collect these forms, which document medical history, allergies, legal contact info, and guardian details for minors. Aeronautical service providers (like fueling companies) must verify the forms are on board before servicing aircraft and compile monthly reports on compliance. The bill also prohibits refueling an aircraft with a restrained passenger onboard and mandates that restrained individuals removed for refueling receive specific services. This directly affects detained travelers, flight crews, and aviation service providers operating in Maryland.
