An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in matters affecting government units, further providing for limitations on damages relating to actions against Commonwealth parties and for limitations on damages relating to actions against local parties.

This bill modifies Pennsylvania laws to adjust the time limits for filing lawsuits against state and local government entities. It directly affects individuals or groups seeking to sue Commonwealth or local parties by changing the specific deadlines for filing such claims. The key provision reduces the standard time window for initiating these legal actions, requiring plaintiffs to file their cases within two years for certain state claims and three years for others instead of the previous four-year period. By updating these statutory timelines, the legislation aims to clarify when legal proceedings against government units must be started to remain valid.
