IN RE: ORDER AMENDING RULES 531 AND 536 OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
DISSENTING STATEMENT
Pursuant to Article V, Section 10 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, I would suspend portions of 42 Pa.C.S. § 5747.1(a) and 42 Pa.C.S. § 5747.1(b)(1), which the Criminal Procedural Rules Committee identified as procedural in nature. To the extent the amendment to Rule 536 incorporates those provisions, I respectfully dissent.
