PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 8th day of April, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:



      (1)    Whether the Superior Court’s application of its decision Commonwealth v.
             Hainesworth to the instant cases impermissibly expanded the contract
             clause to bind the Commonwealth to collateral consequences over which
             the Commonwealth has no control?
