Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Introduced June 10, 2025 by Benjamin Cline · Last progress June 10, 2025
Raises pay for Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustees, changes how certain bankruptcy filing fees are allocated and deposited to fund the United States Trustee system and the Treasury, and lengthens several temporary bankruptcy-judge terms from 5 years to 10 years. The Act preserves courts’ authority to waive fees for indigent filers and sets specific deposit rules for several fiscal years.
Sets the effective date as the first October 1 after enactment, with most fee and filing changes applying to bankruptcy cases that begin on or after that date and some temporary-judge term changes applying to specified pending cases or fee periods starting on or after that date.
