Unlikely to pass
While the bill addresses a simple industry concern, it lacks broad co-sponsorship and was introduced late in the session, making a full vote unlikely.
Key Points
This bill changes who sits on the Aviation Consumer Protection Advisory Committee. This group gives advice to the government about how to protect people when they fly on commercial planes.
The main change is adding ticket agents to the committee. These are the people or companies that help travelers book flights through travel agencies or websites instead of directly from an airline.
By including ticket agents, the committee will have more voices from different parts of the travel industry. This helps the government understand the full experience of buying a plane ticket and how to make it better for passengers.
The bill also updates the rules for when this committee is supposed to finish its work. This ensures the group can keep working on important travel issues for a longer period of time.
