On October 26, 2017, the president signed the 2017 Bankruptcy Judgeship Act, H.R. 136. The final bill added four five-year bankruptcy judgeships and extended 14 temporary ones in Delaware, Florida, Virginia, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina and Puerto Rico for an additional five years. The four new judgeships would be one each in Florida and Michigan and two in Delaware.
