What it does
The Protecting Gun Owners in Bankruptcy Act would amend federal bankruptcy law to allow individuals filing for bankruptcy to exempt up to $3,000 in value of firearms from their bankruptcy estate, protecting those assets from being liquidated to pay creditors. The bill modifies Section 522 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code by adding a new exemption for firearms in both the general exemptions subsection (d) and the list of specific exemptions under subsection (f)(4)(A). The changes would apply only to bankruptcy cases filed on or after the date the bill is enacted.
