Can someone summarize this bill for me. Is it just about Ch 13 or Ch 7 or both.

Ch 7 is the only one most people really need access to, IMO.

This link might help. The bill forces some people to use Chapter 13 rather than 7, and to have their income garnished for a five year term.

The objective of the bill is to make a means test to force people OUT of ch 7 and into Ch 13.

Essentially people will not be able to restart their lives in six months, they will be forced into ch 13 and a minimum three YEARS of payments.

It is turning the Art III bankruptcy courts in collection agencies.
