¶1DISSENTING OPINION BY

President Judge COLINS.

¶2I dissent because I agree with Allegheny County Coroner Wecht that the exercise of power and control over the county coroner through an administrative code violates the Constitution and the Second Class County Code. The coroner is a constitutionally established county officer with statutory powers and duties that are fairly uniform throughout the Commonwealth regardless of the class of county. The administrative code provisions as they relate to county officers constitute a prohibited exercise of power in limitation of powers granted by statutes of general application. 58 Pa.C.S. § 2962(c)(2).
