Bankruptcy Venue Reform Act of 2019

Bankruptcy Venue Reform Act of 2019 This bill limits where a non-individual debtor (e.g., a corporate debtor) may file for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Specifically, these debtors must file in the district court for the district in which the principal place of business or principal assets of the debtor are located. Under current law, these debtors may also file where they are domiciled (i.e., incorporated) or where there is a chapter 11 case pending concerning an affiliate, general partner, or partnership. For certain debtors who are issuers of securities, their principal place of business is defined in the bill as the address of the entity's principal executive office as provided in specified Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
