Bill > HR9154

This bill, the Bankruptcy Administration Improvement Act of 2024, aims to make several changes to the bankruptcy system in the United States. The key provisions include: 1. Increasing the compensation for Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustees from $60 per case to $120 per case, and indexing this amount for inflation, to ensure adequate compensation for their essential services in administering bankruptcy cases. 2. Extending the term of certain temporary bankruptcy judgeships from 5 years to 10 years, to address the existing and anticipated increases in business and consumer bankruptcy caseloads. 3. Modifying the distribution of fees collected under Section 1930(a)(1)(A) of Title 28, with a larger portion going to the United States Trustee Fund to ensure adequate funding of the United States Trustee system. 4. Increasing the quarterly fees payable under Section 1930(a)(6) of Title 28 for Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases and extending the sunset date for these fees from 2026 to 2031. The overall goal of the bill is to improve the administration of the bankruptcy system by providing fair compensation to Chapter 7 trustees, ensuring sufficient funding for the United States Trustee system, and preserving necessary bankruptcy judgeships.
