Description
NIX, C. J. This is an appeal from an Order of the Court of Common Pleas granting Appellees, Cynthia Ann Nicely and Tricia Ann Williams,
relief from the payment of a supervisory fee. Jurisdiction in this case is noted pursuant to section 722(7) of the Judicial
Code, 42 Pa.C.S. § 722(7), which mandates a direct appeal to this Court whenever the Court of Common Pleas holds
a statute of this Commonwealth invalid as repugnant to the Pennsylvania Constitution. The issue presented for review is whether
the separation of powers doctrine permits the General Assembly to pass an administrative regulation requiring every person
placed on probation to pay a supervisory fee as a part of their probation order. For the reasons that follow, we find that
the regulation is not violative of the separation of powers doctrine and, therefore, reverse the Order of the Court of Common
Pleas.
