# California AB 929 (20112012) — Debtor exemptions: bankruptcy.
Existing law identifies property of a debtor that is exempt from all procedures for enforcement of a money judgment. Under existing law, those exemptions are available to a debtor in a federal bankruptcy case, whether a money judgment is being enforced by execution sale or other procedure, unless the debtor elects certain alternative exemptions. Existing law also provides that a specified portion of equity in a homestead, as defined, is exempt from execution to satisfy a judgment debt, and sets forth the amounts of the homestead exemptions available under specified circumstances. Existing law requires the Judicial Council to, every 3 years, adjust the amount of the exemptions described above based on the change in the annual California Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, as specified.
