That sentence, in plain words

Until the last day of the first quarter of 2026, read a court fee rule as if five words were gone. The five words are: During the 5-year period.

What this is about

A person or firm that files for bankruptcy pays court fees. One rule about those fees has a five year window in it. This part takes the window out for a short time.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
