- Congress.gov noteAs sent to the President, H.R. 2415 was a bankruptcy reform bill. Originally, H.R. 2415 was an FY2000 State Department authorization bill with provisions for enhancing the security of American embassies. On 11/17/1999 another version of the FY2000 State Department authorization bill was introduced as H.R. 3427. H.R. 3427 was incorporated by cross-reference in the conference report to H.R. 3194, which became Public Law 106-113. On 10/11/2000 the H.R. 2415 conference committee struck all of the House bill after the enacting clause and inserted the provisions of S. 3186, the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2000. The President pocket vetoed the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2000.Source: Congress.gov, record updated April 7, 2025 ↗
