wherein the Third District Court of Appeal certified the following question as one
of great public importance:  
Whether chapter 95-184,  Laws of Florida, violates the
single subject rule requirement contained in article III,
section 6 of the Florida Constitution.  
We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.

Consistent with our decisions in Heggs v. State,  759 So. 2d 620 (Fla. 2000),
and Trapp v. State, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S429 (Fla. June 1, 2000), we quash the
district court’s decision and remand for resentencing in accordance with the
sentencing guidelines in effect on March 12, 1996, the date of the offenses. 
It is so ordered.
