PER CURIAM.

These consolidated cases are before this Court for certiorari review of an interlocutory order of the Circuit Court, Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, which declared section 677.403(1)(b), Florida Statutes, unconstitutional. Because the interlocutory order would be directly appealable to this Court upon final judgment, we have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. (1972). For the reasons set out below, we reverse the trial court's order.
