An Act providing for a MassPort airline regulation study

This bill requires the Massachusetts Port Authority to commission a study examining potential regulations for airlines operating in Massachusetts. The study must analyze legal implications of rules like mandating airlines to provide lodging, new flights, or compensation to passengers when flights are canceled. It directly affects airlines doing business in the state and the Massachusetts Port Authority, which must complete the study and submit a report to legislative leaders by January 1, 2027. The bill does not create new regulations but sets a process for evaluating them.
