Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That subdivision b of section 14 of the Bankruptcy Act, as amended, is hereby amended to read as follows: "SEC. 14b. After the filing fees required to be paid by this Act have been paid in full the court shall make an order fixing a time for the filing of objections to the bankrupt's discharge which shall be not less than thirty days after the first date set for the first meeting of creditors. Notice of such order shall be given to all parties in interest as provided in section 58b of this Act. If the examination of the bankrupt concerning his acts, conduct, and property has not or will not be completed within the time fixed for the filing of objections to the discharge the court may, upon its own motion or upon motion of the receiver, trustee, a creditor, or any other party in interest or for other cause shown, extend the time for filing such objections. Upon the expiration of the time fixed in such order or of any extension of such time granted by the court, the court shall discharge the bankrupt if no objection has been filed; otherwise, the court shall hear such proofs and pleas as may be made in opposition to the discharge, by the trustee, creditors, the United States attorney, or such other attorney as the Attorney General may designate, at such time as will give the bankrupt and the objecting parties a reasonable opportunity to be fully heard."
