Holt's Cigar Co. v. City of Philadelphia

975 A.2d 1081 | Pa. | 2009

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 9th day of July, 2009, the Petitions for Allowance of Appeal are GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:

Does the General Assembly’s inclusion of a scienter requirement in the crimes established by 35 P.S. § 780-113(a)(33) preempt Philadelphia Code §§ 9 — 622(5)(a) and 9-629(2), which impose civil penalties for the sale of enumerated products without requiring a showing of the seller’s intent?
