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

Summary

The bill requires the Maryland Aviation Administration to create a form that flight crews must give to any passenger who is detained or restrained, collecting medical history and legal information. Airport service providers must verify the form is on board before offering fuel, parking or other services, and must submit monthly compliance reports. It also bars refueling when a restrained person is on the aircraft and limits contracts with airlines unless a valid warrant, court order, or governor’s extradition authorization is provided.
