Bankruptcy Administration Improvement Act of 2025

This bill would modify how bankruptcy cases are administered by making changes to trustee compensation and judicial staffing. Specifically, it would increase the fees paid to Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustees, who handle liquidation cases where assets are sold to pay creditors. Since 1994, these trustees have received only $60 per case, an amount that has not been adjusted for inflation. The bill would also extend the terms of certain temporary bankruptcy judge positions and adjust fees in Chapter 11 reorganization cases. These changes are intended to ensure the bankruptcy system has adequate resources and staffing to process cases efficiently. The bill would affect how bankruptcy cases are funded through filing fees and other charges paid by those going through bankruptcy proceedings.
