HB 2322 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in support of the indigent, repealing provisions relating to relatives' liability and procedure.

This bill would repeal Pennsylvania laws that require relatives to financially support indigent family members, including spouses, children, and parents. The change would remove the legal obligation for these relatives to provide financial assistance regardless of their own financial situation. By eliminating these provisions, the bill aims to reduce the financial burden on family members who might otherwise be held liable for supporting indigent relatives. The repeal would take effect 60 days after the bill is enacted.
