Summary
Safeguarding America's Farms Entering the Year 2000 Act - Amends the Federal Bankruptcy Code to: (1) reenact Chapter 12, Adjustment of Debts of a Family Farmer with Regular Annual Income, (thereby reinstating family farmer bankruptcy relief); (2) cite circumstances under which the claim of a governmental unit that arises as a result of the disposition of a farm asset used in the debtor's farming operation shall be treated as an unsecured claim that is not entitled to priority; and (3) revise the criteria defining family farmer, including the size of the attendant aggregate debt.
