## Notes
Historical and Revision Notes
legislative statementsSection 1306(a)(2) adopts a provision contained in the Senate amendment in preference to a similar provision contained in the House bill.
senate report no. 95989Section 541 is expressly made applicable to chapter 13 cases by section 103(a). Section 1306 broadens the definition of property of the estate for chapter 13 purposes to include all property acquired and all earnings from services performed by the debtor after the commencement of the case. Subsection (b) nullifies the effect of section 521(3), otherwise applicable, by providing that a chapter 13 debtor need not surrender possession of property of the estate, unless required by the plan or order of confirmation.
