Amendments to Rules of Organization and Procedure of the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; Order No. 91

[49 Pa.B. 2217]
[Saturday, May 4, 2019]

 By Order dated March 26, 2019, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania amended Pa.R.D.E. 208(d)(1) related to review and action by the Board. By this Order, the Board is making conforming changes to its Rules to reflect the adoption of those amendments.

 The Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania finds that:

 (1) To the extent that 42 Pa.C.S. § 1702 (relating to rule making procedures) and Article II of the act of July 31, 1968 (P.L. 769, No. 240), known as the Commonwealth Documents Law, would otherwise require notice of proposed rulemaking with respect to the amendments adopted hereby, those proposed rulemaking procedures are inapplicable because the amendments adopted hereby relate to agency procedure and are perfunctory in nature.

 (2) The amendments to the Rules of Organization and Procedure of the Board adopted hereby are not inconsistent with the Pennsylvania Rules of Disciplinary Enforcement and are necessary and appropriate for the administration of the affairs of the Board.

 The Board, acting pursuant to Pa.R.D.E. 205(c)(12), orders:

 (1) Title 204 of the Pennsylvania Code is hereby amended as set forth in Annex A hereto.

 (2) The Executive Director shall duly certify this Order, and deposit the same with the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts as required by Pa.R.J.A. 103(c).

 (3) The amendments adopted hereby shall take effect upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

By the Disciplinary Board of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

JESSE G. HEREDA, 
Executive Director
