Pennsylvania has new laws to allow more criminal records to be sealed from public view and to try to reduce the number of people who are on probation or in jails. The state House Judiciary Committee is taking the first steps toward an amendment that would protect reproductive rights. The state House is back to a 101-101 partisan split with the resignation of one Democratic lawmaker. Masks will soon be required at all UPMC facilities. A midstate school board -- with five new Republican members seated -- is planning to reopen discussion over the district's former mascot. A unique partnership between a botanical garden and a bird rescue uses what would be composted, to help heal injured birds in Delaware. Clearfield County could soon offer whitewater recreation parks on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.
