The ACPAC Modernization Act would add ticket agents to the federal committee that advises on airline passenger issues.
35-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
The bill amends the 2012 law that created the Aviation Consumer Protection Advisory Committee (ACPAC) to add "ticket agents," such as travel agencies and online booking services, to the list of groups represented on the committee. Currently the committee includes representatives from airlines, airports, and travelers' groups.
Who does it affect?
Ticket agents would gain a formal advisory role. Airlines, airports, travelers' groups, and everyday airline passengers are also connected to the committee's work.
Why does it matter?
A more complete committee membership could shape future policy recommendations on ticket fees, cancellations, and refunds, though the bill itself does not change any consumer protections directly.
