Pennsylvania Bankers Association v. Pennsylvania Department of Banking

922 A.2d 876, 592 Pa. 14, 2007 Pa. LEXIS 925

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 26th day of April 2007, the Petitions for Allowance of Appeal are GRANTED, limited to the following issues:

a. Whether the Commonwealth Court erred in declaring 71 P.S. § 733-302 unconstitutional to the extent that it prohibits protestors from inspecting hearing files where the court failed to apply the proper standard of review and elevated the importance of a regulation (10 Pa.Code § 3.4) over that of the statute at issue.

b. Whether the plain language of the Credit Union Code and the Department of Banking Code demonstrates the General Assembly’s intent to exclude credit unions and their amendments of their field of membership from being subject to the mandatory hearing provision of 10 Pa.Code Chapter 3.

Further, upon consideration of the Expedited Application for Relief in the Nature of a Stay, filed by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, and the Application of Belco Community Credit Union and the Pennsylvania Credit Union Association for Stay, a STAY is GRANTED pending resolution of the appeals.
