“(2) except as provided by section 524(g) of this title, enjoin or release a claim against a non-debtor by a State, municipality, federally recognized Tribe, or the United States.”.

(b) Temporary stay on actions against non-Debtors.—Section 105 of title 11, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

“(e) Notwithstanding subsection (b)(2), a court may issue an order staying, for a period not to exceed 90 days, the commencement or continuation, including the issuance or employment of process, of a judicial, administrative, or other action or proceeding by a State, municipality, federally recognized Tribe, or the United States against a non-debtor that was or could have been commenced before the commencement of the case under this title, or to recover a claim against a non-debtor that arose before the commencement of the case under this title.”.
