Complete United States Bankruptcy Code (U.S. Code, Title 11) plus select provisions relating to bankruptcy in Title 18 (Crimes) and Title 28 (Judicial Procedure) as amended by the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-8). This Black Line shows additions and deletions to the Bankruptcy Code as well as related provisions in Titles 18 and 28. Additions are indicated by black underlined text; deletions are indicated by black strike through text. The Reform Act provides that, as a general rule, its provisions shall take effect 180 days after the date of enactment. It further provides that it shall not apply to cases commenced under Title 11 prior to such effective date. However, the Act also sets forth a number of exceptions to these general rules. This publication contains a table summarizing each exception. Full citation to source and to applicable provision of S. 256 follows each affected code section. Key Benefit: During the transition period, some amendments go into effect immediately and some do not. This black line edition eliminates the need to carry around 2 versions of the code.
