     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stop shielding Assets from Corporate Known Liability by Eliminating non-debtor Releases Act or the SACKLER Act &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill prohibits a bankruptcy court from releasing claims against non-debtors brought by states, tribes, municipalities, or the federal government. However, the bankruptcy court may issue a stay not exceeding 90 days regarding such a claim.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Complex bankruptcies may involve creditor claims against non-debtors associated with the debtor, such as the debtor's officers, directors, or employees. Currently, in carrying out a bankruptcy plan, certain courts may release non-debtors from liability (there is a circuit split regarding this practice).&lt;/p&gt;
