AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration to issue rules within 180 days requiring all air carriers to include strollers in their contract of carriage. Airlines would also have to tag strollers with a marking saying they should be handled with care. The rules must be consistent with the Montreal Convention on international air travel. The bill also requires a rule setting an airline liability amount of $2,175 for damage to a stroller, within the existing liability limit for all baggage. It defines a stroller as a collapsible child carriage or any other device used to hold children on the move.
