PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 15th day of March, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:


             Did the General Assembly, when it gave Philadelphia general police
             powers as expansive as [those] of the General Assembly and specific
             authority to enact local anti-discrimination laws, intend to exempt SEPTA
             from compliance with those laws, when the consequence of compliance
             would not materially disrupt SEPTA’s core transportation function and the
             consequence of non-compliance would leave hundreds of thousands of
             Philadelphia passengers and employees without a remedy against many
             forms of discrimination?

      Justice Eakin did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
