This bill amends Title 42 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding the enforcement of foreign judgments. Specifically, it modifies Section 4306(b) to clarify the process for filing foreign judgments in the Commonwealth. The amendment stipulates that a copy of any foreign judgment, authenticated according to federal law or state law, can be filed in the office of the clerk of any court of common pleas, where it will be treated similarly to local judgments.

Importantly, the bill introduces a new provision that prohibits courts of common pleas from enforcing or satisfying foreign judgments related to the provision or delivery of reproductive health care services. It defines "reproductive health care services" to include a range of medical, surgical, counseling, or referral services associated with the human reproductive system, such as those related to pregnancy and contraception. This act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
