ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 27^th day of June, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:

Whether the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act ("PHRA"), including its requirement for exhaustion of remedial administrative procedures, provides the exclusive remedy for retaliation claims ostensibly brought under the Pennsylvania Whistleblower Law ("Whistleblower Law"), where the underlying basis for a Whistleblower Law retaliation claim is discrimination deemed to be unlawful under the PHRA.
