             AND NOW, this 27th day of May, 2020, pursuant to this Court’s
authority under Pennsylvania Rule of Appellate Procedure 1701(b)(1) to clarify or
correct an order on appeal, it is hereby ORDERED that the Court’s Opinion and

page 7 in footnote 9 of the Opinion. Specifically, the phrase “should not be

Opinion, subsequent to the amendment, now provides in its entirety:

             two sections is the compliance date by which PLCB must
             implement a procedure to process direct-delivery special
             orders.

In all other respects, the Court’s Opinion and Order remains intact, and a corrected
copy is attached.
