Bill > SB882

This bill amends Pennsylvania law regarding the enforcement of foreign judgments by adding new provisions specifically related to reproductive health care services. The bill modifies Section 4306 of Title 42 to clarify that courts of common pleas in Pennsylvania cannot enforce or satisfy a foreign judgment involving reproductive health care services. The bill defines "reproductive health care services" broadly as medical, surgical, counseling, or referral services related to the human reproductive system, including services connected to pregnancy, contraception, or pregnancy termination, which can be provided in various medical settings like hospitals, clinics, physician offices, or other medical facilities. The legislation introduces two new paragraphs to the existing law: one explicitly prohibiting enforcement of foreign judgments related to reproductive health care services, and another providing a detailed definition of what constitutes reproductive health care services. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its enactment, suggesting it is likely a response to recent legal or political developments surrounding reproductive health care access.
