PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See State v. Franklin, 836 So.2d 1112 (Fla. 3d DCA)(en banc), review granted, Nos. SC03-413, 03-532 (Fla. Sept. 13, 2003). Conflict is certified with Taylor v. State , 818 So.2d 544 (Fla. 2d DCA),rev. dismissed , 821 So.2d 302 (Fla. 2002). Jones v. State

GREEN, J. (specially concurring).

The doctrine of stare decisis compels me to join in the affirmance of this cause, but I continue to adhere to the view that Taylor v. State, 818 So.2d 544 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002), review dismissed, 821 So.2d 302 (Fla. 2002), was correct in its conclusion that Chapter Law 99-188, Laws of Florida, violates the single subject rule of the Florida Constitution.
