The Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 (SBRA) went into effect on February 19, 2020 to provide small businesses bankruptcy relief that was previously untenable under a traditional chapter 11 reorganization. The SBRA created subchapter V of chapter 11, codified as 11 U.S.C. §§ 1181 – 1195, that is available for small business debtors with debts less than $2,725,625.
