Maryland SB505 mandates health and safety protocols for aircraft transporting detained individuals.

Maryland SB505, the Aviation Health and Safety Act, requires flight crews to distribute and collect forms from detained passengers, detailing their medical and legal histories. Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) and aviation service companies must inspect aircraft to ensure these forms are on board before providing services. They must also compile and submit monthly reports to the Maryland Aviation Administration. The bill prohibits refueling aircraft carrying restrained individuals and mandates specific accommodations for such individuals if they are removed for refueling.
