OPINION ON STATE’S MOTION FOR REHEARING ON PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
Appellant was convicted of aggravated delivery of marihuana and assessed a punishment by the jury of 16 years’ confinement in the Texas Department of Corrections and a $50,000 fine. The Second Court of Appeals reversed the conviction on the limited issue of the admissibility of a videotaped reenactment of the crime. On original submission to this Court, we remanded the cause to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration of appellant’s contention that House Bill 7301 of the 67th Legislature (Acts 1981, ch. 268) is unconstitutional.
In Ex parte Crisp, 661 S.W.2d 956 (1983) rehearing denied Jan. 18, 1984, this Court held that H.B. 730 was unconstitutional pursuant to Art. Ill, Section 35 of the Texas Constitution.
The State’s motion for rehearing in the instant cause is denied and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for action not inconsistent with our holding in Ex parte Crisp, supra.

. Tex.Rev.Civ.Stat.Ann. art. 4476-15, § 4.05(a), (b)(3) (Supp.1982), 1981 Tex.Gen.Laws, ch. 268, § 7, at 702.
