This bill establishes homestead exemptions for individuals in debt who declare bankruptcy, allowing them to exempt their primary residence from attachment, execution, and forced sale. The exemption amounts vary based on the owner's age and marital status, with limits set at $250,000 for individuals under 65, $500,000 for couples both under 65, $500,000 for individuals over 65, $750,000 for couples with one over and one under 65, and $1,000,000 for couples both over 65. These amounts will be adjusted every three years starting January 1, 2027, based on the Consumer Price Index for the Mid-Atlantic Region.

The bill defines "homestead" to include various types of primary residences, such as dwelling houses, condominium units, and manufactured homes, while excluding personal property. However, the exemption does not apply to properties subject to community associations regarding unpaid assessments or charges. Additionally, the exemption is determined based on the date the bankruptcy petition is filed, and owners can abandon the exemption through specific actions, such as a declaration of abandonment or a transfer of the property. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027, with provisions for anticipatory administrative actions.
