Rep. Robert Leadbeter’s bill proposing a Purple Alert System will be reviewed by the House Judiciary Committee on April 9. The legislation seeks greater protection for vulnerable citizens in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania lawmakers held a hearing in Luzerne County on Apr. 7 about reforming stormwater fees known as the ‘rain tax.’ Local officials say current rules place an unfair financial burden on smaller communities. Legislators discussed possible changes while aiming to maintain environmental protections.

Lawmakers led by David H. Rowe and Brenda Pugh will hold a public hearing on rain tax reforms aimed at helping small communities manage costs. Local officials are expected to testify during the session scheduled for April 7.
