紐約立法尋求阻止將持有違約外國政府控告紐約法院的債券投資者的立法在州議會中陷入停滯。此法案將禁止“訴訟性拒絕者投資者”僅為尋求將違約國家帶上法庭而購買受紐約法律管轄的新興市場政府債券。約一半的新興國家硬幣債務（約8000億美元）受紐約法律管轄，使該州成為這些債券發行者最重要的司法管轄區。然而，由於立法者無法就所謂的活動法案「The champerty doctrine」投下決定性一票，這項法案在議會委員會被擱置，而另一個提案，其中包括限制私人債權人在重組期間能夠收回的金額上限等事項，也未能通過。兩項法案的失敗對於一群政治家、非營利組織和活動家力圖加強對違約主權債券重組的法律監督的努力來說是一個挫敗。
