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.
SB 882 modifies Pennsylvania law to prevent courts from enforcing foreign judgments related to reproductive health care services. Specifically, it prohibits Pennsylvania courts from enforcing foreign judgments seeking payment for or delivery of services like pregnancy care, contraception, or abortion (defined broadly as "reproductive health care services"). The bill requires courts to treat foreign judgments like local ones for most purposes but explicitly bars enforcement in cases involving reproductive health care. This change applies to all foreign judgments filed in Pennsylvania courts and takes effect 60 days after enactment. It directly affects judgment creditors seeking to collect debts related to reproductive health services and Pennsylvania courts handling such cases.
