Nondebtor Release Prohibition Act of 2024

This bill amends federal bankruptcy law to prohibit courts from releasing the liability of nondebtor entities (such as parent companies, officers, or third parties) without their express written consent in bankruptcy proceedings. It creates a new section 113 in title 11 of the U.S. Code that bars courts from discharging, releasing, or enjoining claims against nondebtors, with limited exceptions for asset sales, indemnity claims, and consensual dispositions. The bill also establishes a 90-day limit on temporary stays or injunctions affecting nondebtor claims in chapter 11 cases and creates an expedited appeal process for such orders.
