That sentence, in plain words

No large investor has to sell a home it bought before this law. Nothing here blocks a bankruptcy case either.

What this is about

The bar reaches only new purchases. Homes already held stay where they are. Bankruptcy law is untouched.

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.

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.
