ACPAC Modernization Act

Sponsored by Jacky RosenSen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV)
Introduced August 5, 2026

AI-Generated Summary

Updated August 11, 2026 at 5:52 AM UTC

The ACPAC Modernization Act updates the rules governing the Aviation Consumer Protection Advisory Committee. It changes the way the committee can be terminated and adjusts who can serve on it by adding ticket agents to the list of eligible participants. The changes affect the committee’s composition and its termination process, impacting airlines, consumer groups, and ticket agents involved in aviation consumer protection.

Key Provisions

  • Amends the termination language in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act to modify how the advisory committee can be ended.
  • Adds "ticket agents" as a new category of members that can serve on the Aviation Consumer Protection Advisory Committee.
  • Removes a reference to "ticket agents" from another subsection, likely to avoid duplication after the new addition.
