A New Amendment to the Bankruptcy Code - Maybe?

Description: 

According to multiple sources, including the American Bankruptcy Institute and the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers, efforts to amend the bankruptcy code to allow bankruptcy judges to modify home mortgage including reducing the outstanding debt to the current market value and modifying the interest rates to current rates is moving forward.  It is not clear what the final legislation will look like inasmuch as there are multiple versions of the amendment being offered and there is bound to be last minute changes to the legislation as well as changes made to resolve differences between any bill passed by the Senate and the Congress.  WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS SOME TYPE OF RELIEF IS ON THE WAY.
 One of the things that is lost in the confusion over the various provisions of the stimulus package is that the amendment to the bankruptcy code will cost the American Taxpayer nothing.  Absolutely no funds are needed for this amendment to be implemented.
