PER CURIAM.
We have for review Osborne v. State, 25 Fla. L. Weekly D420 (Fla. 4th DCA
Feb. 16, 2000), in which the Fourth District Court of Appeal certified conflict with the
Second District’s decision in Thompson v. State, 708 So. 2d 315 (Fla. 2d DCA
1998), approved, 750 So. 2d 643 (Fla. 1999), on the issue of standing to challenge
chapter 95-182, Laws of Florida, as violative of the single subject rule contained in
article III, section 6 of the Florida Constitution.  We have jurisdiction.  See Art. V, §
3(b)(4), Fla. Const.
-2-
Based on our recent decision in Salters v. State, 758 So. 2d 667 (Fla. 2000), and
the State’s confession of error, we quash the decision below and remand for
resentencing in accordance with the valid laws in effect on February 5, 1997, the date
of the offenses.
It is so ordered.
