Bill overview
The Consumer Protection and Corporate Accountability in Bankruptcy Act of 2026 aims to increase accountability in corporate bankruptcies. It allows for the dismissal of bankruptcy cases if they are objectively futile or filed in bad faith, particularly if the debtor is manufacturing a venue or engaging in tactics to delay creditor payments. The bill also strengthens protections against claims from non-debtor entities related to product liability and environmental damage, and modifies the automatic stay to prevent actions against entities not involved in the debtor's bankruptcy. Finally, it makes technical amendments to existing bankruptcy code sections.
