Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall issue a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding first aid and emergency medical kit equipment and training required for flight crewmembers, as provided in part 121 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, applicable to all certificate holders operating passenger aircraft under such part. In carrying out subsection (a), the Administrator shall consider— the benefits and costs (including the costs of flight diversions and emergency landings) of requiring any new medications or equipment necessary to be included in approved emergency medical kits; whether the contents of the emergency medical kits include, at a minimum, appropriate medications and equipment that can practicably be administered to address— the emergency medical needs of children and pregnant women; opioid overdose reversal; anaphylaxis; and cardiac arrest; what contents of the emergency medical kits should be readily available, to the extent practicable, for use by flight crews without prior approval by a medical professional.
Not later than 5 years after the issuance of the final rule under subsection (a), and every 5 years thereafter, the Administrator shall evaluate and revise, if appropriate— the first aid and emergency medical kit equipment and training required for flight crewmembers; and any required training for flight crewmembers regarding the content, location, and function of such kit.
