Summary

The measure amends Pennsylvania’s judicial procedures so that state courts cannot order service or issue subpoenas for cases outside Pennsylvania that involve reproductive health care services, and out‑of‑state officers cannot arrest people in Pennsylvania for those same services.

The changes affect courts, law‑enforcement officers, the governor, and anyone facing legal actions tied to reproductive health care.
