ABI Endowment Fund Update
New ABI Commission on Consumer Bankruptcy
The Anthony H.N. Schnelling Endowment Fund is supporting a newly appointed 15-member expert panel that will examine the consumer bankruptcy system and issue a report with recommended improvements that can be implemented within the existing structure. The ABI Commission on Consumer Bankruptcy aims to modernize the system with practical and cost-effective recommendations, building on the framework established by Bankruptcy Code of 1978 and Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. This Commission will employ an open, information-gathering model that will allow interested parties across the consumer bankruptcy spectrum to provide input.
