HR 3371 was the bill that has passed the house in October. It requires the ATP within 3 years.
H.R. 3371: Airline Safety and Pilot Training Improvement Act of 2009 (GovTrack.us)
Its counterpart in the Senate is S 1744 that also requres an ATP within 3 years. It was introduced by Chuck Schumer last October and is in committee.
S. 1744: Enhancing Flight Crewmembers' Training (GovTrack.us)
Now the House has an Reauthorization bill as well
Read The Bill: H.R. 4853 - GovTrack.us
This is passed the House and is awaiting a Senate vote.
I cannot find the actual Senate bill that all of the articles refer to as passed. If anyone has read the Senate bill post it please.
All of these bill must be the same when they come out of both house and Senate before they land on the Prez's desk
