(a) In all cases in which a judgment is rendered pursuant to the code of civil procedure for limited actions, the party in whose favor judgment is rendered may pay the fee prescribed by Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 28-170 and amendments thereto. Upon payment of the fee the clerk of the district court in the county in which the judgment was rendered shall renumber the case as a case filed under this chapter and enter payment of the fee and the renumbering of the case on the appearance docket of the case. After such payment of the fee and renumbering of the case, such judgment may be filed in any county in which real property of the judgment debtor is located pursuant to Kan. Stat. Ann. § 60-2202, and amendments thereto. The judgment shall become a lien on the real estate of the judgment debtor in the county from the date of the entry. Execution to satisfy the judgment shall proceed in the same manner as original judgments in the district court pursuant to this chapter.

(b) If any judgment filed pursuant to this section becomes dormant, it may be revived in the same manner as other judgments in the district court.
