The purpose of this legislation, known as the Consumer Protection and Corporate Accountability in Bankruptcy Act of 2026, is to strengthen the bankruptcy process by preventing the misuse of Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings. It aims to ensure that petitions filed under this chapter are made in good faith and are not intended to manipulate the system for unfair advantages. Key provisions of the law include new criteria for dismissing bankruptcy cases. A court can dismiss a Chapter 11 case if it finds that the petition is objectively futile or filed in subjective bad faith.
