The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act passed in 2005 limits the debtor companies' ability to give out worker retention and executive bonuses without a bankruptcy judge's blessing. The bankruptcy rule does not however regulate what a company can or cannot do before it files for bankruptcy.
