Maddy summaryThis resolution supports the designation of August 24 through August 28, 2026, as the fourth annual National Community Health Worker Awareness Week.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the FAA to create and maintain a public website listing medications approved for use by pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation trainees seeking medical certification. The list must include all approved prescription and over-the-counter medications, indicate required duty limitations for certain drugs, flag medications the FAA prohibits ("Do Not Issue"), and provide clear guidance for medical providers. The FAA must develop this list with input from aviation experts, training institutions, and union representatives, and update it annually to reflect current medical standards. This directly affects aviation medical applicants by making medication safety information transparent and accessible at the time of certification.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to update regulations to encourage pilots and air traffic controllers to seek and disclose mental health care without fear of losing their medical certification. It mandates an annual review of the "special issuance" process (for medical certification) to consider new treatments, improve examiner training, and reduce backlogs, while allocating $15 million annually (2026-2029) to recruit more medical examiners and provide mental health training. Additionally, it funds a $1.5 million annual public campaign to destigmatize mental health care in aviation, improve trust with workers, and make resources easily accessible at aviation medical offices and training facilities. The FAA must consult with industry stakeholders and report progress to Congress on implementation.
