I found this, and am 99% sure someone here was wondering about it but I don't recall what thread of what forum. (Got it from bankruptcyaction.com.)
New Bankruptcy Law taking effect on October 17, 2005: The state you use for your exemptions is:
The state you lived in for the 730 days (2 years) before filing; or
If you did not live in a single state in the previous 2 years you use the state where you lived the majority of the 180 period preceding the 2 year period; or
If the preceding renders you ineligible for any exemptions then the debtor is allowed to choose the federal exemptions.
