Stopping Abusive Student Loan Collection Practices in Bankruptcy Act of 2026
Key claim: The Stopping Abusive Student Loan Collection Practices in Bankruptcy Act of 2026 (HR9111) would restrict abusive collection practices on student loans in bankruptcy proceedings and has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Abstract
(HR9111 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-02): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Why this matters
Student loans are notoriously difficult to discharge in bankruptcy, and collection conduct during those proceedings directly affects borrower outcomes and financial recovery. This bill signals continued congressional attention to the intersection of bankruptcy law and student debt collection, though as an introduced measure referred to committee its practical effect on borrowers and servicers remains contingent on further action.
