Chapter 13 is a federal law, which means it is the same in all 50 states. See 11 USC 1301 et seq. The U.S. Constitution calls for a uniform set of bankruptcy laws. The exemptions available to Chapter 13 debtors, on the other hand, differ by state. The homestead exemption in Michigan, for example, is $35,300 in most cases.
