Section 4. Section 4342 of Title 23 is amended by adding subsections to read:
§ 4342. Expedited procedure.
* * *
(c) Long arm procedures.--The Supreme Court shall by general rule establish procedures for the exercise of long arm jurisdiction to establish paternity and to establish and enforce support. Long arm jurisdiction shall be used in preference to proceedings under Chapter 45 (relating to reciprocal enforcement of support orders) unless it would be more effective to proceed otherwise. Long arm proceedings may be commenced or continued in any county where the plaintiff resides regardless of whether the parties maintained a family domicile in that county.
(d) Jurisdiction over nonresident.--In a proceeding to establish, enforce or modify a support order or to determine parentage, any court of this Commonwealth may exercise personal jurisdiction over a nonresident individual if:
(1) the individual is personally served with notice
within this Commonwealth;
(2) the individual submits to the jurisdiction of this
Commonwealth by consent, by entering a general appearance or
by filing a responsive document having the effect of waiving
any contest to personal jurisdiction;
(3) the individual resided with the child in this
Commonwealth;
(4) the individual resided in this Commonwealth and
provided prenatal expenses or support for the child;
(5) the child resides in this Commonwealth as a result
of the acts or directives of the individual;
(6) the individual engaged in sexual intercourse in this
Commonwealth and the child may have been conceived by that
act of intercourse;
(7) the individual asserted parentage in the affidavit
filed under the act of June 29, 1953 (P.L.304, No.66), known
as the Vital Statistics Law of 1953; or
(8) there is any other basis consistent with the
Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of
Pennsylvania for the exercise of personal jurisdiction.
