HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania is in line to receive more than $53 million as part of a nationwide settlement with a British company that once distributed a drug used to treat opioid addiction.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said Thursday that the money is to settle allegations that the company defrauded Medicaid and other state health care programs.

The U.S. Department of Justice had accused an ex-Reckitt Benckiser subsidiary of marketing Suboxone Film by saying the drug was safer than other opioid addiction treatments.

Reckitt Benckiser said in July that it would pay $1.4 billion to resolve federal investigations. The states' share of the settlement is $700 million.

Reckitt Benckiser has denied wrongdoing.

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s transportation Secretary Leslie Richards wrote Thursday to a U.S. Census Bureau official that her agency won’t provide driver’s license records as part of a Trump administration effort to gather citizenship information.More than a dozen other states have declined to participate, according to an Associated Press survey.The Census Bureau began asking for five years’ worth of driver’s license records in August, promising the information will be kept confidential. That effort began after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a plan to add a citizenship question to next year’s census.Civil rights groups see it as a move to reduce the political power of minorities.
