(1) If an action is brought to enforce a judgment of another jurisdiction expressed in a foreign money and the judgment is recognized in this state as enforceable, the enforcing judgment must be entered as provided in ORS 24.290 (Judgments and awards on foreign-money claims), whether or not the foreign judgment confers an option to pay in an equivalent amount of United States dollars.
