ORDER
  

  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:
 

 
   *195
   
  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.
