Pennsylvania is one of 10 states with closed primaries that exclude independents. Every session, lawmakers and advocates push for change, but leaders haven’t committed. -
A bill would require direct care workers to pass a competency exam rather than have a diploma or GED. Advocates argue a more direct solution to the staffing shortfall would be to increase wages. -
Pennsylvania only allows its biggest cities and a handful of other municipalities to use red light cameras. They still face challenges getting off the ground. -
Pennsylvania has supercharged the number of abandoned wells it plugs thanks to federal money, but the future of that work is unclear as lawsuits play out. -
Weed companies spent $1.6 million last year pushing Pennsylvania lawmakers to legalize recreational use of the drug. -
A caucus in the Pennsylvania House focused on maternal health has introduced bills that would protect the right to public pumping and mandate a state agency study access to care. -
Eviction filings can follow renters for decades and make it harder to find housing, even if a judge never upheld them. Shapiro wants to see lawmakers seal those records. -
Getting paid time off to care for a kid or recover from illness depends on where one lives and works in Pennsylvania. Lawmakers want to change that. -
A legalization bill needs to win majority support from an 11-person state Senate committee. Just three members are publicly on board.
