President Biden has signed into law the Bankruptcy Threshold Adjustment and Technical Corrections Act. The legislation extends the $7.5 million debt limit for Sub-chapter V bankruptcies retroactive to March 27, 2022, the previous sunset date for the increased debt cap. The act also corrects another problematic Sub V eligibility provision that arguably prohibited many entities with any affiliate entity relationship (sister companies, parent entities) from filing a Sub V case. Stay tuned for a follow up blog post regarding the recent Act from JME. | |
