PER CURIAM

       AND NOW, this 29th day of November, 2017, the Petitions for Allowance of

Appeal are GRANTED, limited to the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to

all other issues.



       The issue, rephrased for clarity, is as follows:

       Did the Commonwealth Court err in holding that the State Emergency
       Management Services Code, the State Disease Prevention and Control
       Act Law, the Second Class City Code, and the Home Rule Charter and
       Options Law failed to satisfy the “expressly provided by statute” exception,
       and that the City of Pittsburgh therefore lacked the authority to pass the
       Paid Sick Days Act and the Safe and Secure Buildings Act?


       The appeals from Nos. 227-230 WAL 2017 and Nos. 236-239 WAL 2017 are

hereby CONSOLIDATED for briefing and oral argument.
