STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. M.A.G., a child, Appellee.
    No. 98-01087
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Jan. 6, 1999.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Michael J. Scionti, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellant.
    James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and Richard P. Albertine, Jr., Assistant Public Defender, Clearwater, for Appel-lee.
   PATTERSON, Acting Chief Judge.

The State appeals from a final disposition order which suspends M.A.G.’s driver’s license for six months. The State contends that M.AG.’s driving privileges should have been suspended for two years, pursuant to section 322.056, Florida Statutes (1997). For the reasons stated in State v. M.L.R., No. 98-01096, 722 So.2d 259 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998), we hold that a two-year suspension is mandatory pursuant to section 322.056 because M.A.G. was adjudicated delinquent for a “subsequent violation” regarding an alcohol, drug, or tobacco offense. Accordingly, we reverse the disposition order and remand for the trial court to enter a disposition order that directs the Department of Highway, Safety and Motor Vehicles to suspend M.A.G.’s driving privileges for two years.

Reversed and remanded.

ALTENBERND and SALCINES, JJ., Concur.
