To prohibit the Secretary of Transportation, acting through the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, from setting a requirement that air carriers and foreign air carriers must require an individual to test negative for COVID-19 to travel in air transportation on an air carrier, and for other purposes. is a House bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people flying within the United States or U.S. territories. It also affects airlines and airports that might otherwise have to check COVID-19 test results under DOT or FAA rules. Federal transportation officials would lose this one tool for setting COVID-19 testing rules on covered flights.
Why this matters: This matters because it would remove one possible federal testing rule for domestic and territorial air travel. Passengers would face fewer chances of being blocked from those flights over a COVID-19 test rule from DOT or FAA. Airlines and airports could also avoid some cost and planning work tied to checking test results. The public health effect is unclear and would depend on future outbreaks and other government rules.
