Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

Section 2 of Chapter 93A of the General Laws is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:-

(d) Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the failure of any travel company, travel agency, tour business, or travel agent acting on behalf of a consumer, to provide a full monetary refund, upon request, for a school-related educational trip, tour or excursion cancelled as a result of a declaration of emergency pursuant to Chapter 27, Sec. 2A, shall be considered an unfair or deceptive act or practice.
