To extend the period during which chapter 12 of title 11 of the United 
         States Code remains in effect; and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. EXTENSION OF TIME PERIOD.

    The first sentence of section 302(f) of the Bankruptcy Judges, 
United States Trustees, and Family Farmer Bankruptcy Act of 1986 
(Public Law 99-554; 100 Stat. 3124) is amended by striking ``1993'' and 
inserting ``1998''.

SEC. 2. FILING OF PLAN.

    Section 1221 of title 11, United States Code, is amended by 
striking ``an extension is substantially justified'' and inserting 
``the need for an extension is attributable to circumstances for which 
the debtor should not justly be held accountable''.

SEC. 3. EFFECTIVE DATE; APPLICATION OF AMENDMENT MADE BY SECTION 2.

    (a) Effective Date.--Except as provided in subsection (b), this Act 
and the amendments made by this Act shall take effect on the date of 
the enactment of this Act.
    (b) Application of Amendment Made by Section 2.--The amendment made 
by section 2 shall not apply with respect to cases commenced under 
title 11 of the United States Code before the date of the enactment of 
this Act.
