ACPAC Modernization Act
Aviation Consumer Protection: Committee Membership Changes
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill updates the Aviation Consumer Protection Advisory Committee, which is a group that gives advice to the government on how to protect people when they fly.
- It adds "ticket agents" to the committee. This means the people and websites that sell plane tickets will now have a seat at the table when new travel rules are being discussed.
- The change is meant to make sure the committee hears from everyone involved in travel, not just the airlines, when making decisions about things like flight refunds and hidden fees.
- The bill also changes the rules for when the committee is supposed to stop working, helping to make sure it stays active to keep an eye on the travel industry.
