Does anyone have a link to the notice so we can read the whole thing not
something written by some author for an aviation web news site?

A couple questions I might have.
1. Is this for all classes of license or is this Sport Pilot.
(it sounds like sportpilot since they require check out in individual
planes (unless PPL operating as SP).
2. Is this a proposal or has in been implemented without any public
response?

I have never heard of PPL needing a new license for a particular airplane.
Maybe jets or aircraft over 12500 lbs.

You've seen the link.. think about it like this.. there are experimental
aircraft out there that are 1) amphibious 2) multiengined or 3)
something OTHER than a "Single Engine Land" type of plane. In the past,
enforcement of pilots who were "SEL" type guys flying multiengine
experimentals or amphibious experimentals was somewhat lax, especially
with passengers.

The rule is not new. The emphasis on enforcing the rule when passenger
carrying is what is new. So, now.. if you wanna take your buddy up for a
joyride in an experimental a/c you have to be just as qualified for it
(category and class) as if it was a standard airworthiness certificated
aircraft.
