Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Re: New bankruptcy law and filing

You're correct about the timing. If the bills were to pass Congress, more than likely there would be a waiting period. But that's not a guarantee. Right now, the bills have been re-introduced, but haven't been acted upon. The bills were held up during the past few years on whether judgments against anti-abortion protesters should be dischargeable. I cannot predict what will happen with this volatile political issue, however.
