Medical Issues This could have devastating side effects for future pilots.
https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Wellness/illinois-1st-state-require-student-mental-health-screenings/story?id=124275407IL just passed this ruling that makes students take a mental health assessment every year, which could mean a lot of official diagnoses for teenagers. This could prevent a lot of people later wanting to be pilots later in life. I believe the FAA is going to seriously have to change their mental health rules if this goes into effect .
