In the other chamber's committee

The committee decides whether it goes any further, and most bills that reach a committee never leave it. A committee that simply does nothing kills a bill without anyone ever voting against it, so no news from here is usually the news.

What this bill would do
This act is known as the "ACPAC Modernization Act." It seeks to modify the termination of the aviation consumer protection advisory committee. The bill specifically amends Section 411 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. These changes involve adding "ticket agents" to a specific paragraph in subsection (b). Finally, the bill removes the term "ticket agents" from subsection (i).
