The White House said President Donald J. Trump signed four bills into law Nov. 10, including legislation that permanently raises bankruptcy limits and changes Medicare payments for some wheelchairs.

H.R. 7730, the Bankruptcy Threshold Adjustment Act, permanently raises the limits for small-business Chapter 11 proceedings and consumer Chapter 13 proceedings. The announcement did not state the new dollar thresholds.

H.R. 997, the National Taxpayer Advocate Enhancement Act of 2025, gives the National Taxpayer Advocate authority to appoint a lawyer to the office. That lawyer would report directly to the advocate or a delegate. The law also authorizes the advocate to take personnel actions involving any Taxpayer Advocate Service employee.

H.R. 1703, the Choices for Increased Mobility Act of 2026, changes how Medicare pays for some wheelchairs. The White House summary did not describe the payment change in further detail. Under H.R. 1945, the America’s National Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri, joins the list of National Historic Landmarks.
