The bill raises the flat pay for chapter 7 bankruptcy trustees to $120 per case, adjusts several bankruptcy fees and how those fees are split and deposited, and extends temporary bankruptcy‑judge appointments from 5 years to 10 years. It redirects and fixes portions of fee collections to support the United States Trustee Program, the judiciary, and the Treasury general fund, and includes transitional rules tying the changes to the first October 1 after enactment.
