On December 1, 2023, several new or amended Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure go into effect. There are also two form changes.

- Rule 3011 now requires the Clerk of Court to post a link to searchable information on unclaimed funds. This is already on our website at this link.
- Rule 8003 is updated to prevent the loss of appellate rights in certain circumstances.  Official Form 417 is modified to conform to the change.
- Rule 9038 is new and allows the Judicial Conference to declare a "rules emergency" in the event the President declares a national emergency.
- Rule 9006(a)(6)(A) adds Juneteenth as a recognized court holiday.
- Official Form 410A is modified to break out lines for principle and interest instead of a combined field.

The new and modified Rules can be found here.  The new Official Forms 417 and 410A will be available on the U.S. Courts website on the effective date.
