Bill > HR770

This bill, the Discharge Student Loans in Bankruptcy Act of 2019, would amend the United States Bankruptcy Code to make student loans, including those from nonprofit, government, or private sources, dischargeable in bankruptcy. This means that borrowers would be able to have their student loan obligations eliminated through the bankruptcy process, which is currently not the case under existing law. The bill includes conforming amendments to ensure consistency throughout the Bankruptcy Code, and the changes would apply to bankruptcy cases filed on or after the date of the bill's enactment.
