Following the issuance of our opinion in this case, the appellant, Christopher J. Karling, moved for certification of a question of great public importance. We grant the motion and certify the following question in accordance with rule 9.030(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, as one of great public importance:

DOES THE GRAVES AMENDMENT, 49 U.S.C. § 30106, PREEMPT SECTION 324.021(9)(B)(2), FLORIDA STATUTES (2007)?
