AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL LAW -- GENERAL REGULATORY PROVISIONS -- UNFAIR SALES PRACTICES
HB 7847 prohibits airlines from setting expiration dates on airline tickets and flight vouchers, meaning these items cannot expire after a certain date. This directly affects travelers who purchase tickets or receive vouchers, ensuring they retain the right to use them indefinitely. The key provision bans expiration dates as a standard practice, requiring airlines to honor all purchased tickets and vouchers without time limits. The bill focuses on preventing unfair practices that limit consumer access to travel services. It is currently in the introduction phase, referred to the House Corporations committee.
