An issuing authority may accept a plea in any case authorized by statute, (42 Pa.C.S.A. § 1515(a)(6)(I)) but may not sentence without a pre-sentence investigation report. If the parties and the issuing authority agree to dispense with a pre-sentence investigation report, the defendant shall be sentenced in accordance with the procedure provided by Pa.R.Crim.P. 704. The issuing authority shall note the sentence on the transcript and transmit it to the Clerk of Courts.
