§ 718.1 Short title.

This law has a short name: the "Uniform Foreign-Country Money Judgments Recognition Act." That name is just a label lawyers and courts use to refer to the law when they talk about it or cite it in legal papers.

The name itself tells you what the law is about. It deals with money judgments made by courts in other countries, and how those judgments can be recognized and enforced in Oklahoma. The word "uniform" means Oklahoma based this law on a standard version that many other states have also adopted, so the rules are similar across state lines.

For regular people, this rule doesn't create any real obligations or rights on its own. It's simply the title section, which sets up the name used throughout the rest of the act. The actual rules about how foreign court judgments get recognized and enforced show up in the other sections that follow this one.
