§ 1-17-703 — Filing of foreign judgment; effect of filing

In order for a foreign judgment to have the same effect as a
judgment of a district court of this state, a copy of any
foreign judgment authenticated in accordance with an act of
Congress or the statutes of this state shall be filed in the
office of the clerk of any district court and any county clerk
of this state. The clerk of court shall treat the foreign
judgment as a judgment of the district court of this state
notwithstanding the amount of the judgment or that the action
giving rise to the judgment, if initiated in this state, would
be within the jurisdiction of a minor court. A judgment so filed
has the same effect and is subject to the same procedures,
defenses and proceedings for reopening, vacating or staying as a
judgment of a district court of this state and may be so
enforced or satisfied.
