What §1192 Subchapter V Discharge Does

Subchapter V of Chapter 11 (enacted by SBRA 2019) provides a streamlined reorganization path for small-business debtors. §1192 governs the discharge: available after completion of plan payments in most cases, or at plan confirmation in limited consensual cases. Broader scope than Chapter 7 but narrower than the pre-2005 Chapter 11 discharge.
