What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill brings back some bankruptcy rules that expired in 2024. It raises the maximum amount of debt that small businesses can have when filing for a type of bankruptcy called Subchapter V, going from about $3.4 million to $7.5 million. It also raises the debt limit for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which is a plan for wage earners, from about $2.1 million to $2.75 million. Additionally, instead of having separate limits for different kinds of debt in Chapter 13, the bill combines all debt into one single limit.
