Supreme Court of Florida.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Pursuant to the procedures approved in Amendments to the Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure & Family Law Forms , 810 So.2d 1, 13-14 (Fla. 2000), this Court has internally reviewed the Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms and has decided that two existing forms need to be deleted. See Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.140(d). Input was received from the Advisory Workgroup on the Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms, which provided valuable assistance.
We have jurisdiction, and delete forms 12.905(d) (Supplemental Petition for Temporary Modification of Parenting Issues for Child(ren) of Parent Activated, Deployed, or Temporarily Assigned to Military Service) and 12.993(d) (Supplemental Temporary Judgment Modifying Parenting Issues for Child(ren) of a Parent Activated, Deployed, or Temporarily Assigned to Military Service) in their entirety because their underlying statutory authority, section 61.13002, Florida Statutes, was repealed by chapter 2018-69, section 2, Laws of Florida, effective July 1, 2018.
Forms 12.905(d) and 12.993(d) are deleted effective immediately upon the release of this opinion. The Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Forms may be accessed and downloaded from the Florida State Courts' website at http://www.flcourts.org/resources-and-services/court-improvement/family-courts/family-law-forms.stml. We also direct that notice of the deletion of forms 12.905(d) and 12.993(d) be published for comment. Interested persons shall have sixty days from the date of this opinion to file comments with the Court.
It is so ordered.
