House Appropriations Bill Reduces Funding to the Executive Office of the U.S. Trustee
H.R. 3093 is currently scheduled to be heard on the House Floor this week. The bill will cut current funding to the Executive Office of the U.S. Trustee by 34.2 million from last year’s budget and $42.9 million less for this year’s budget.
The report states that “the Committee is concerned that excessive resources are being expended on efforts by the U.S. Trustee Program to dismiss cases for insignificant filing defects (thereby creating added burdens on the court and debtors associated with refilings); on the unnecessary use of U.S. Trustee personnel to participate in creditors’ meetings that are already handled and conducted by private trustees; and on making burdensome requests of debtors to provide documentation that has no material effect on the outcome of bankruptcy cases.”
