AI Summary
This bill, the Customs Business Fairness Act of 2019, amends the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) to allow full subrogation, including subrogation to the priority rights of the United States, of claims for the payment of customs duties. This means that customs brokers who have paid customs duties on behalf of their clients will have higher priority in getting reimbursed for those payments during bankruptcy proceedings. The bill specifies that this amendment will not apply to bankruptcy cases that were already commenced before the bill's enactment.
