CHIEF JUSTICE SAYLOR,
Concurring
Athough I dissented in the controlling case, Commonwealth v. Muniz, — Pa. —,—, 164 A.3d 1189 (2017) (Opinion Announcing the Judgment of the Court), I recognize that there was a majority consensus in that decision to the effect that SORNA exacts punishment and retroactive application of the enactment violates constitutional norms. Accordingly, while I have expressed my disagreement with these propositions, see id. at -, 164 A.3d at 1232-39 (Saylor, C.J., dissenting), I join the present per curiam order' based on the prevailing precedent.
