AI Summary
This bill, the Air Carrier Access Amendments Act of 2023, aims to improve accessibility and protect the rights of passengers with disabilities in air transportation. It amends the existing Air Carrier Access Act to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities, require airlines to make reasonable modifications and provide auxiliary aids and services, and establish a private right of action for individuals to sue for violations. The bill also directs the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with the Access Board, to prescribe regulations setting minimum standards for aircraft, airport facilities, and digital systems to ensure accessibility for passengers with disabilities.
