Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1999 - Title I: Needs Based Bankruptcy -
Amends Federal bankruptcy law to revamp guidelines governing dismissal or
conversion of a Chapter 7 liquidation petition (complete relief in bankruptcy),
to one under Chapter 13 (Adjustment of Debts of an Individual with Regular
Income). Allows a bankruptcy panel trustee and any party in interest to move for
such dismissal or conversion (current law prohibits such party in interest from
such motions). Lowers the "substantial abuse" standard for dismissal or
conversion to one of simple abuse. Replaces the presumption in favor of granting
the relief sought by the debtor with a presumption that abuse exists if the
debtor's current monthly income exceeds specified formulae. Provides that the
presumption of abuse may be rebutted only with detailed documentation of special
circumstances requiring additional expenses or adjustment of currently monthly
total income.
Requires the debtor's counsel to: (1) reimburse the bankruptcy trustee for
legal fees in prosecuting a dismissal or conversion motion if the court finds
that counsel's filing under Chapter 7 was not substantially justified; and (2)
pay a civil penalty for the violation of certain bankruptcy rules.
(Sec. 103) Revises procedural guidelines to mandate written notice to the
individual consumer debtor before commencement of a case that credit counseling
services approved by the United States Trustee are available.
(Sec. 104) Instructs the Director of the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees
to: (1) develop a financial management training curriculum and materials to
educate individual debtors on how to better manage their finances; and (2)
evaluate and report to the Congress on the curriculum's efficacy.
(Sec. 105) Precludes an individual debtor from filing under Federal
bankruptcy law unless the individual has received a briefing from an approved
nonprofit credit counseling service prior to filing a bankruptcy petition.
Predicates a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 discharge in bankruptcy upon the
debtor's completion of an approved instructional course concerning personal
financial management.
Title II: Enhanced Consumer Protection - Subtitle A: Penalties for
Abusive Creditor Practices - Cites circumstances under which the court may
reduce by up to 20 percent a claim based upon unsecured consumer debts if the
debtor can show by clear and convincing evidence that the claim was filed by a
creditor who unreasonably refused to negotiate a reasonable alternative
repayment schedule proposed by an approved credit counseling agency acting on
the debtor's behalf.
(Sec. 202) Modifies guidelines governing the discharge of a debtor's
liability, as well as the automatic stay, to entitle an individual who is
injured by the willful failure of a creditor to credit payments received to
bring an action for actual damages and legal fees.
(Sec. 203) Includes as a violation of automatic stay proscriptions any
communication threatening a debtor for the purpose of coercing an agreement for
a debt reaffirmation.
(Sec. 204) Modifies debt reaffirmation guidelines governing wholly unsecured
consumer debts to mandate additional disclosures for dischargable debt
agreements.
Instructs the Attorney General to designate United States attorneys and
agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to implement enforcement
activities in addressing abusive reaffirmations of debt.
Subtitle B: Priority Child Support - Revises Chapter 7 priority
payment guidelines to place within the first priority claim category certain
claims for domestic support obligations, on the condition that funds received by
a governmental unit be applied in a prescribed order.
(Sec. 213) Conditions court confirmation of a debt repayment plan under
Chapters 12 (Debts of a Family Farmer) and 13 and the consequent discharge of
debts upon certification of debtor's full payment of all adjudicated domestic
support obligations that are due after the petition filing date.
(Sec. 214) Excepts from an automatic stay specified choses-in-action
pertaining to domestic support obligations, including: (1) establishment of
paternity; (2) withholding of income for payment of domestic support
obligations; (3) suspension of drivers' licenses and professional licenses; (4)
interception of specified tax refunds; and (5) enforcement of medical
obligations under title IV, part D (Child Support and Establishment of
Paternity) of the Social Security Act.
(Sec. 216) Modifies guidelines governing property exempt from the bankruptcy
estate to declare such property liable for domestic support obligations.
(Sec. 217) Precludes the bankruptcy trustee from avoiding a transfer that is
a bona fide payment of a debt for a domestic support obligation.
(Sec. 219) Sets forth the duties of the bankruptcy trustee under chapters 7,
11, 12 and 13 regarding a claim against an individual debtor for the collection
of child support, including notifying the claim holder and the appropriate State
child support agency of the debtor's location.
Subtitle C: Other Consumer Protections - Modifies guidelines governing
nonattorney bankruptcy petition preparers to mandate that as a prerequisite to

sponsored by such debtor's employer to pay certain loans from such plans.
Title III: Discouraging Bankruptcy Abuse - Modifies exceptions to a
discharge in bankruptcy to prohibit discharge of a filing fee imposed by any
court upon a prisoner.
(Sec. 302) Terminates the automatic stay 30 days after filing of a petition
if a chapter 7, 11, or 13 petition was pending and dismissed the previous year,
unless the subsequent filing is in good faith. Delineates conditions under which
a history of previous petitions in bankruptcy give rise to a rebuttable
presumption that the case is not filed in good faith.
(Sec. 303) Directs the court to grant relief from the automatic stay upon
request of a party in interest with respect to certain real property actions if
the court finds that filing the bankruptcy petition was part of a scheme to
delay, hinder, and defraud creditors. Denies automatic stay protections
regarding certain creditors' enforcement actions against real property for a
specified period following a prior order in bankruptcy which forbade the debtor
from being a debtor in another bankruptcy case.
(Sec. 304) Modifies debtor's duties to mandate specified affirmative actions
to be taken by a chapter 7 debtor, including reaffirmation of the debt, or
redemption of the property within 45 days, in order to retain possession of
personal property. Allows a creditor to take action with respect to such
property under nonbankruptcy law if the debtor fails to act within 45 days,
unless the court determines upon trustee motion that such property is
consequential value or benefit to the estate.
(Sec. 305) Declares that the automatic stay is terminated regarding property
of the debtor's estate securing a claim or subject to an unexpired lease, if the
debtor fails to complete an intended surrender of consumer debt collateral
within a revised, accelerated time frame (unless the court determines upon
trustee motion that such property is of consequential value or benefit to the
estate).
(Sec. 306) Instructs the bankruptcy court to confirm a chapter 13 plan if it
provides that the holder of a secured allowed claim shall retain the attendant

Provides that if a chapter 13 proceeding is dismissed or converted without
completion of the plan, the holder shall retain such lien to the extent
recognized by applicable nonbankruptcy law.
Provides that statutory guidelines to determine the secured status of a
creditor's claim do not apply if the underlying debt was incurred within the
five-year period preceding the filing of the bankruptcy petition and the
collateral for that debt consists of a motor vehicle acquired for the debtor's
personal use (or if the collateral consists of any other thing of value if the
debt was incurred during the six- month period preceding such filing).
(Sec. 307)Increases from 180 to 730 days the length of a debtor's location of
domicile for purposes of determining which State law governs the debtor's
selection of property exempt from the bankrupt estate.
(Sec. 308) Reduces the value of homestead exemption and debtor's burial plot
to the extent it is attributable to any portion of any property that is disposed
by the debtor within the 730-day period ending on the bankruptcy petition filing
date with the intent to obstruct or defraud a creditor, and that the debtor
could not exempt.
(Sec. 309) Revamps prescriptions governing the effects of conversion from
chapter 13 to another chapter. Declares that: 1) valuations of property and of
allowed secured claims in a chapter 13 case shall not apply in a case converted
to chapter 7; and (2) with respect to cases converted from chapter 13, the claim
of any creditor holding security as of the date of the petition shall continue
to be secured by that security unless the full amount of that claim, as
determined under applicable nonbankruptcy law, has been paid in full as of the
date of conversion. States that a prebankruptcy default shall have the effect
given under applicable nonbankruptcy law unless it has been fully cured pursuant
to the plan at the time of conversion.
Provides for a chapter 7 debtor's assumption of executory contracts and
unexpired leases of personal property. Declares that in a chapter 11 case in
which the debtor is an individual, and in a chapter 13 case, if the lease is not
assumed in the plan, it is rejected (and no longer subject to an automatic stay)
as of the plan's confirmation date.
Delineates a cash payment plan for chapter 13 debtors for payments to any
lessor of personal property and to any creditor holding a claim secured by
personal property to ensure adequate protection to the claim holder during the
payment period.
(Sec. 310) Reduces from the threshold amounts of luxury goods and consumer
credit cash advances presumed nondischargeable in bankruptcy, if acquired within
90 days and 70 days, respectively (currently 60 days) before an order for relief
is issued.
(Sec. 311) Precludes an automatic stay of any eviction, unlawful detainer
action, or similar proceeding by a lessor against a debtor involving residential
real property in which: (1) the debtor resides and has not paid rent after the
commencement and during the course of the case; (2) the rental agreement has
terminated; (3) the debtor has previously filed within the last year and failed
to pay post-petition rent during the course of that case; or (4) eviction
actions are based upon endangerment to property or person or the use of illegal
drugs.
(Sec. 312) Extends the period between chapter 7 discharges to eight years,
and between chapter 13 discharges to five years.
(Sec. 314) Declares nondischargeable in bankruptcy: (1) debts intentionally
incurred to pay a nondischargeable debt with the intent to discharge the
newly-created debt; and (2) all debts incurred to pay nondischargeable debts,
without regard to intent, if incurred within 70 days of the filing of the
petition.
Treats a debt incurred to pay child or spousal support as a dischargable debt
(in order to preclude such support from having to compete with the
nondischargeable debt).
Revamps Chapter 13 debt discharge guidelines. Prohibits discharge from a debt
for restitution or damages awarded in a civil action against the debtor for
willful or malicious injury that caused personal injury or death of an
individual.
(Sec. 315) Prescribes notice procedures for chapter 7 and chapter 13
creditors.
Expands debtor's duties to require filing with the bankruptcy court: (1) all
tax returns; (2) evidence of payments received; (3) monthly net income
projections; and (4) anticipated debt or expenditure increases. Permits a
chapter 7 or chapter 13 creditor to request the debtor's petition, schedules and
statement of affairs, including the debt adjustment plan filed by the debtor.
Mandates debtor compliance within five days of such request.
Mandates that, at the time of filing with the taxing authority, a chapter 7
or 13 debtor file with the bankruptcy court specified tax documentation
pertaining to the period from case commencement until case termination.
Requires a chapter 13 debtor to file with the court a statement of income and
expenditures in the preceding tax year, and monthly net income, showing how
calculated.
Makes debtor's mandatory documentation available for inspection and copying
to certain bankruptcy officers and any party in interest. Requires debtors to
furnish driver's license, passport or other photograph-containing documentation
establishing debtor identification.
(Sec. 316) Provides for automatic dismissal if a chapter 7 debtor fails to
furnish all mandatory information, or fails to timely file the requisite
schedules. Requires the court to order dismissal within five days of a request
by a party in interest for the debtor's failure to timely submit requisite
documentation.
(Sec. 317) Requires a Chapter 13 confirmation hearing to be held not later
than 45 days after the first meeting of creditors.
Mandates filing of a Chapter 13 debt readjustment plan within 90 days of the
order for relief. Prohibits such plan (with certain exceptions) from providing
for payments over a period that is longer than three years.
(Sec. 319) Expresses the sense of the Congress that rule 9011 of the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure should include a requirement that all debtors'
documents be submitted to the court only after debtors have made reasonable
inquiry to verify that all information therein is well grounded in fact, and
warranted by existing law or a good faith argument for extension, modification
or reversal of existing law.
(Sec. 320) Revises automatic stay guidelines to provide that in the case of

aggregated in the same electronic record.
Title VII: Bankruptcy Tax Provisions - Amends the bankruptcy code to

determination was made prepetition or postpetition. (Sec. 710) Includes among
the requirements for court confirmation of a chapter 11 bankruptcy plan which
includes tax claims, that the debtor, at the minimum, make regular cash

taxable periods ending in the three-year period that ends on the date of the
filing of the petition. Authorizes the court to dismiss a plan, if a chapter 13
debtor fails to comply with such time frame.

Rules of the Judicial Conference should propose for adoption amended Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure pertaining to objections to tax claims and to plan
confirmation.

solicitation purposes, to include full discussion of the potential material
Federal and State tax consequences of the plan to the debtor and to a
hypothetical investor domiciled in the State in which the debtor resides or has
its principal place of business typical of the holders of claims or interests in
the case.
(Sec. 718) Denies an automatic stay, unless specified conditions are met, to
the setoff of an income tax refund for a taxable period which ended before the
order for relief against an income tax liability for a taxable period which also
ended before the order for relief.
Title VIII: Ancillary and Other Cross-Border Cases - Expands the scope
of bankruptcy law to incorporate the Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, and
to establish a statutory mechanism for: (1) dealing with cases of cross-border
insolvency; and (2) cooperation between U.S. courts, trustees, and debtors and
their foreign counterparts. Prescribes guidelines for: (1)access by foreign
representatives and creditors to Federal and State courts; (2) recognition of a
foreign proceeding and relief; (3) cooperation and direct communication with
foreign courts and representatives; and (4) concurrent proceedings and the

(Sec. 903) Declares that property of the bankrupt estate does not include any
eligible asset (or its proceeds) to the extent that it was transferred by the
debtor before commencement of the case to an eligible entity in connection with
an asset-backed securitization (except to the extent that such asset, or its
proceeds or value, may be recovered through avoidance by the bankruptcy
trustee).
Title X: Protection of Family Farmers - Amends the Federal bankruptcy
provisions to: (1) reenact Chapter 12, Adjustment of Debts of a Family Farmer
with Regular Annual Income, (thereby reinstating family farmer bankruptcy
relief); (2) define a family farmer as one whose gross income of more than 50
percent from a farming operation was received during at least one of the three
taxable years preceding the taxable year in which the bankruptcy petition was
filed (thus relaxing eligibility criteria from one year to three years); and (3)
cite circumstances under which the claim of a governmental unit that arises as a
result of the disposition of a farm asset used in the debtor's farming operation
shall be treated as an unsecured claim that is not entitled to priority.
Title XI: Technical Amendments - Makes technical corrections to
Federal bankruptcy, judicial, and criminal law.
