Kids Fly Safe Act
The Kids Fly Safe Act (S 1683) requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct a comprehensive study on child safety in aviation. The study will examine issues including age-appropriate safety restraints, evacuation procedures for children, protection of child equipment in cargo holds, airport accessibility for families (like diaper stations and breastfeeding areas), terminal safety for children, disease protection measures, and screening protocols for children with disabilities. The FAA must submit a report with findings and recommendations to Congress within 180 days of the bill's enactment. This bill does not change current rules but mandates an analysis to inform future policy decisions affecting children traveling by air.
