HR 8393: Consumer Protection and Corporate Accountability in Bankruptcy Act of 2026

This bill strengthens consumer protections and corporate accountability in bankruptcy proceedings by making it easier for courts to dismiss or convert Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases filed in bad faith. It requires courts to dismiss cases that are objectively futile or filed in subjective bad faith, such as when debtors manufacture legal venues, seek tactical advantages, delay creditors, or cap liability to multiple creditors. The legislation also limits automatic stays that protect debtors from lawsuits, particularly in cases involving mass torts or claims affecting at least 100 individuals, and clarifies rules around setoffs and creditor recognition. These changes directly affect corporate debtors, creditors, and bankruptcy courts by tightening restrictions on abusive bankruptcy filings while preserving protections for final judgments entered before the law takes effect.

HR 8386: RECOVER Act of 2026

Currently, Medicare applies a 50% payment reduction when certain multiple therapy services are provided to a beneficiary on the same day. This bill amends existing law to eliminate that 50% reduction, changing it to 0 percent. This change applies to therapy services billed under the physician fee schedule, as well as outpatient and comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation services, and will take effect for services furnished on or after January 1, 2027.
