Bill information
Summary
To exempt for an additional 4-year period, from the application of the means-test presumption of abuse under chapter 7, qualifying members of reserve components of the Armed Forces and members of the National Guard who, after September 11, 2001, are called to active duty or to perform a homeland defense activity for not less than 90 days.
Plain-language summary
This bill extends a debt relief benefit for National Guard members and military reservists for another four years. Members called to active duty or homeland defense missions for at least 90 days after September 11, 2001, can use this protection when filing for bankruptcy. The protection exempts them from a 'means test' that normally prevents people with moderate income from erasing debts through Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The bill has passed through the legislative process.
