Senate Finance Chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) said that the Senate must “get its act together” on bankruptcy reform, which Congress has tried to enact several times in recent years, CongressDaily reported. The House passed its version of the bill in March, and the Senate bill is awaiting floor action. “We’ve got the votes to get it passed if we can get around the Schumer amendment,” Grassley said, referring to language by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) that would prohibit abortion protesters from filing for bankruptcy to avoid paying fines for disruptive activity at clinics.
