Bankruptcy Administration Improvement Act of 2025
The bill creates clearer, more predictable fee allocations, deposit rules, and temporary-judge continuity to stabilize bankruptcy administration, but does so by diverting fees to the Treasury and fixing per-case dollar allocations—trading short-term predictability and centralization for risks of underfunding over time, reduced judicial turnover, and transitional fairness/administrative burdens.
