ABI will hold a free media webinar on Wednesday at 3 p.m. EDT featuring experts that will provide an overview of the new bankruptcy laws and how they will help financially distressed small businesses, disabled veterans and family farmers going forward. President Donald J. Trump on Aug. 23 signed the “Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019” (SBRA, H.R. 3311), “HAVEN Act” (H.R. 2938) and “Family Farmer Relief Act of 2019” (H.R. 2336) into law. Speakers on the webinar include:
