GIVAN, Justice,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent from the majority in this case in granting the petition for rehearing. The petition for rehearing cites the same cases as cited in the original opinion and acknowledges that they do in fact hold as they were described in the original opinion. However, the opinion on rehearing chooses to readjust the law in this matter and from my point of view in fact invades the province of the legislature and adds a restriction to the statute by judicial fiat. If such a change is to be made, it should be made by the legislature not by this Court. The original opinion affirming the trial court should stand.
PIVARNIK, J., concurs.
