Court Entry of Standing Order 22-20--- Amendments to Exhibit 12 Interim Bankruptcy Rules Due to Revisions to Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure Related to the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019; Conforming Technical Amendments

Thursday, December 1, 2022

Court Entry of Standing Order 22-20--- Amendments to Exhibit 12 Interim Bankruptcy Rules Due to Revisions to Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure Related to the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019; Conforming Technical Amendments to Local Bankruptcy Rule 2002-1(F) and Exhibit 15 Part V.C.; and Conforming Technical Amendment to Local Bankruptcy Rule 4001(a)-1(H): Effective 12/1/2022

Effective December 1, 2022, the Court has made changes to Exhibit 12, Interim Bankruptcy Rules, which previously had been adopted by the Court as Local Rules to implement the procedural and substantive changes to the Bankruptcy Code made by the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 (SBRA). As Congress took no action regarding those amendments to the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that address the SBRA, they became effective as of December 1, 2022. For this reason, the Court has rescinded all the Interim Bankruptcy Rules, with the exception of Interim Bankruptcy Rule 1020, as no longer being needed. That rule remains in effect as a local rule of the Court and shall terminate two years after the date of enactment unless that Act is further extended. In addition, the Order addresses several miscellaneous conforming technical changes as described therein. A revision to the Court’s Local Rules PDF document is in process and soon will be placed on the Court internet website’s Local Rules-CM/ECF Policy Statement web page.
