Improve mental health support and reduce barriers to care for pilots and air traffic controllers.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Mental Health in Aviation Act of 2025?
The House passed H.R. 2591 on September 8, 2025, and the bill has remained in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation since that date. The Senate must now schedule a vote for the bill to advance, but the 60 vote threshold required for most legislation acts as a major barrier. History shows that many bills passed by the House never receive a vote in the Senate, making the path forward uncertain.
