Ticket agents get a seat on the FAA's consumer protection group.

What it does

This bill changes a group called ACPAC. It adds ticket agents as people who can be on the group. It removes an old, clashing rule about ticket agents. The group gives advice to the FAA about protecting airline customers.

Who it affects

Ticket agents and the FAA are directly affected. Airline customers may be affected if the group's advice changes how the FAA handles complaints.

One thing to notice

The bill does not say if ticket agents are new to the group or were already allowed. The bill also does not say how much power the group has.
