Extension of Term of Certain Temporary Offices of Bankruptcy Judge
Section 5 · Sec. 5 ·
What this chapter is about
This part changes a term of five years to ten years. It does this in two older laws about judge posts. The same swap is made in a long list of spots. Nothing else in those laws is touched.

What the document says
“Section 4 of the Bankruptcy Administration Improvement Act of 2020 (28 U.S.C. 152 note) is amended-- (1) in subsection (a)(2)-- (A) in subparagraph (A)(i), by striking ``5 years'' and inserting ``10 years''; and”
This Act strikes 5 years and inserts 10 years throughout section 4 of the Bankruptcy Administration Improvement Act of 2020, printed as a note to section 152 of title 28, United States Code. The change is made in subsection (a)(2), subparagraphs (A)(i) and (B)(i); subsection (b)(2), subparagraphs (A)(i) through (F)(i); subsection (c)(2), subparagraphs (A)(i) and (B)(i); subsection (d)(2), subparagraphs (A)(i) and (B)(i); subsection (e)(2)(A); and subsection (f)(2)(A). The wording is the same in every place. Section 2 of this Act states that the purpose is to keep existing bankruptcy judgeships.
What the document actually says
“Section 4 of the Bankruptcy Administration Improvement Act of 2020 (28 U.S.C. 152 note) is amended-- (1) in subsection (a)(2)-- (A) in subparagraph (A)(i), by striking ``5 years'' and inserting ``10 years''; and”
That sentence, in plain words
An older law from 2020 is changed. A term of five years is struck. Ten years goes in instead.
What this is about
That older law set up judge posts meant to be temporary. This law does not print what it said. It only makes the same swap in each of fourteen spots.
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.

What the document says
“Section 1003(b)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Judgeship Act of 2017 (28 U.S.C. 152 note) is amended by striking ``5 years'' and inserting ``10 years''.”
The same change in a second older law. This Act strikes 5 years and inserts 10 years in section 1003(b)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Judgeship Act of 2017, printed as a note to section 152 of title 28, United States Code. That Act is not indexed here.

“Section 1003(b)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Judgeship Act of 2017 (28 U.S.C. 152 note) is amended by striking ``5 years'' and inserting ``10 years''.”
That sentence, in plain words
A second older law is changed the same way. Five years becomes ten years.
What this is about
This one is from 2017. Only one spot in it is changed. The words that go in are the same.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out
The two amendments the section makes: the change from 5 years to 10 years throughout section 4 of the Bankruptcy Administration Improvement Act of 2020, and the same change in section 1003(b)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Judgeship Act of 2017.
The strike and insert is identical in all fourteen places subsection (a) reaches, so it is recorded once for that Act rather than once for each subparagraph. The list of subparagraphs is given in the summary.
The section works entirely by amending older law. The Bankruptcy Administration Improvement Act of 2020 and the Bankruptcy Judgeship Act of 2017 are not indexed here, and neither is section 152 of title 28, United States Code, where both are printed as notes. So nothing recorded says which offices are covered, in which districts, or what the term runs from. This Act supplies only the two numbers.
