No. Such a law would violate bankruptcy law, which prohibits discrimination by reason of bankruptcy.

The problem is usually getting a mortgage because of credit scores, which include many factors including the reasons for filing bankruptcy.

Can you buy a house after only one year in Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Yes. In fact there are lenders who will provide home financing just one day out of bankruptcy. Contact a local mortgage broker (yellow pages). Mortgage brokers have many lenders to choose from and can help you easier than a local bank. The danger is, of course, that you'll be charged such a horrible interest rate that you're far more likely to end up back in the same situation--bankruptcy, foreclosure, etc. It's smarter to be patient, spend two years getting your credit in order, and then look at what sort of mortgage you can get.

How can one get a loan if they have declared bankruptcy?

Getting a loan after bankruptcy can be difficult depending on what type of bankruptcy one files. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy, one cannot even apply for credit during the length of the bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, that is a different story. One can file Chapter 7 bankruptcy and as soon as it is discharged can apply for credit.
