BANKRUPTCY TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS ACT OF 2010

September 28, 2010

Mr. SCOTT of Virginia: Mr. Speaker, 5 years ago, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 was enacted into law. It exceeded 500 pages in length and made significant changes in our Nation's bankruptcy law.

Since its enactment, a number of technical drafting errors have been identified. These include spelling errors, erroneous statutory cross-references, incorrect grammar and terminology references, and mistakes in punctuation. I am pleased that H.R. 6198, the Bankruptcy Technical Corrections Act of 2010, corrects these purely technical errors.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 6198.
