S.2263

Control Tower Continuity Act removes age limit for air traffic controllers and updates medical clearance expiration.

The Control Tower Continuity Act amends title 5, United States Code, to exempt air traffic controllers from mandatory separation requirements. It removes the age limitation for air traffic controllers, allowing them to continue working past the age of 61. Additionally, the Act requires the Federal Aviation Administration to update its Air Traffic Control Specialist Health Program to mandate that medical clearances for controllers aged 61 and older expire six months after the examination. These changes take effect 180 days after the Act's enactment.
