ACPAC Modernization Act

# ACPAC Modernization Act Summary **What the Bill Does** The ACPAC Modernization Act would add one new position to the Aviation Consumer Protection Advisory Committee (ACPAC)—a representative from ticket agents. ACPAC is a committee that advises the Department of Transportation on how to improve airline customer service. Currently, the committee includes representatives from airlines, airports, state/local governments focused on consumer protection, and nonprofit consumer advocacy groups, but no one specifically representing ticket agents (the people and companies who sell airline tickets to customers). **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect ticket agents and airline customers.

By including a ticket agent voice on the advisory committee, the bill aims to ensure this industry perspective is considered when developing recommendations about airline customer service policies. The Department of Transportation would also benefit from this additional input when making decisions about passenger protections. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
