Amended Lowell Bill Advances in National Bankruptcy Debate
The Amended Lowell Bill for national bankruptcy, drawn by Judge Lowell of Massachusetts, faces House scrutiny with key changes. Rejected provisions include nine supervisors and automatic involuntary bankruptcy for a debtor with a partner in arrears, while new bonds for warrants and confidentiality protections are added. Public sentiment in the House shows strong opposition, and Senatorial prospects remain uncertain as proponents seek to replace the Lewell measure.
