Increases pay for bankruptcy case managers and extends temporary bankruptcy judge positions.
This bill would double the pay for people who manage Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, from $60 to $120 per case. It would also extend the terms of temporary bankruptcy judge positions in several areas from 5 years to 10 years. These changes aim to keep the bankruptcy system running smoothly without using taxpayer money.
Today, Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustees receive $60 per case, and many temporary bankruptcy judge positions are set to expire in 5 years. After this bill, Chapter 7 trustees would receive $120 per case, and temporary bankruptcy judge positions would be extended for 10 years. Some bankruptcy fees would also be adjusted to support the system.
