ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

PER CURIAM.
We deny the motion for rehearing. Although the Department of Children and Families argues against the application of the parental relocation statute to this permanent guardianship proceeding,' noting the difficulty it may pdse for permanent guardians, the plain languagé of the statute makes it applicable to permanent guardianships. See §§ 61.13001(l)(a), .13001(l)(e), .503(4), Fla. Stat. (2014). If the Department is concerned about the statute’s impact on dependency and guardianship proceedings, it should seek a legislative change.
WARNER, CONNER, JJ„ and LEVEY COHEN, MARDI, Associate Judge, concur.
