Bankruptcy Venue Reform Act

Introduced·3/26/26

Bankruptcy Venue Reform Act aims to prevent forum shopping in bankruptcy cases by modifying venue requirements.

The Bankruptcy Venue Reform Act seeks to prevent forum shopping in bankruptcy cases by modifying venue requirements under title 11 of the United States Code. It specifies that bankruptcy cases can only be filed in certain districts based on the location of the debtor's principal place of business or assets. The act also allows for the transfer of cases to more appropriate districts and mandates that governmental attorneys can intervene in bankruptcy cases without local counsel requirements.

The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
