COPE, J.
(specially concurring).
While obliged to follow the majority opinion in State v. Franklin, 836 So.2d 1112 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003), for the reasons I expressed in my dissent in that case chapter 99-188, Laws of Florida, violates the single subject requirement of the Florida Constitution. For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in State v. Barnes, 836 So.2d 1126 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003), the mandatory minimum sentence involved in this case cannot lawfully be imposed.
