Supreme Court of Florida · Decided April 26, 1990 · Barkett, Ehrlich, Grimes, Kogan, McDonald, Overton, Shaw

Bennett v. State

Opinion of the Court

McDonald, justice.

In Bennett v. State, 546 So.2d 1192, 1192 (Fla.2d DCA 1989), the district court certified the following question as being of great public interest: “Does section 893.-13(l)(e), Florida Statutes (1987), violate the one subject rule of article III, section 6 of the Florida Constitution?” We answered this question in the negative and held the statute to be constitutional in Burch v. State, 558 So.2d 1 (Fla. 1990), and, therefore, approve Bennett.

It is so ordered.

EHRLICH, C.J., and OVERTON, SHAW, BARKETT, GRIMES and KOGAN, JJ., concur.
