An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in dockets, indices and other records, further providing for enforcement of foreign judgments.
HB 1643 modifies Pennsylvania law to clarify how courts enforce foreign judgments. It prohibits courts from enforcing foreign judgments related to reproductive health care services, including pregnancy-related care, contraception, or abortion. The bill specifies that such judgments cannot be enforced against providers for services delivered in medical facilities. This change applies to all foreign judgments filed in Pennsylvania courts under the existing enforcement procedures. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
