What the document says

“Because the system governing bankruptcies of various types is interconnected, Congress has established fees, including filing fees, quarterly fees in chapter 11 cases, and other fees, that together fund the courts, judges, United States trustees, and trustees serving in bankruptcy cases under chapter 7 of title 11, United States Code.”

The third finding. Congress states that the different kinds of bankruptcy case are interconnected, and that the fees it has established, filing fees, quarterly fees in chapter 11 cases and others, fund the courts, the judges, the United States trustees and the trustees serving in chapter 7 cases as one system.

What the document actually says

“Because the system governing bankruptcies of various types is interconnected, Congress has established fees, including filing fees, quarterly fees in chapter 11 cases, and other fees, that together fund the courts, judges, United States trustees, and trustees serving in bankruptcy cases under chapter 7 of title 11, United States Code.”

That sentence, in plain words

Congress says the parts of this system are tied to each other. One set of fees pays for all of them.

What this is about

Chapter 7 is the kind of case where things are sold off. Chapter 11 is the kind where a business tries to keep going. Fees from both go into the same pots.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
