An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in limitation of time, further providing for infancy, insanity or imprisonment; in matters affecting government units, further providing for exceptions to sovereign immunity and for exceptions to governmental immunity; and making a repeal.

HB 462 amends Pennsylvania law to extend time limits for filing lawsuits involving minors, individuals with mental incapacity, or those imprisoned. It also clarifies when government units (like cities or counties) can be sued by specifying exceptions to sovereign immunity. The bill directly affects citizens seeking legal action against government entities and the government units themselves, by changing deadlines and liability rules. Key provisions include updating filing deadlines for specific vulnerable groups and defining clearer scenarios where governments lose immunity from lawsuits. This is a substantive policy change to court procedures, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
