PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 1st day of September, 2023, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

is GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:

      Did the Commonwealth Court err when it held, in light of Pennsylvania Rest.
      & Lodging Ass’n v. City of Pittsburgh, 211 A.3d 810 (Pa. 2019), that the City
      of Pittsburgh lacked home rule authority under 53 P.S. § 2962(f) to enact its
      Rental Registration Ordinance?
