SB 95: Sellers of travel: travel consolidators: fraud.

This bill aims to amend the existing regulations on sellers of travel in California. The term "seller of travel" now includes travel consolidators. Sellers of travel are required to register with the attorney general and establish a trust fund to deposit money received from persons for travel services. The bill also specifies that if a person purchases a ticket or voucher from a seller of travel and is a victim of fraud, the air carrier must refund the person. Additionally, if the seller of travel is not registered, the sale is voidable by the purchaser. The bill expands the scope of a crime related to violating the provisions regulating sellers of travel. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. However, this bill does not require reimbursement for a specified reason.
