No. 1D05-1727.

928 So.2d 430 (2006)

ST. VINCENT'S MEDICAL CENTER, INC., Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. d/b/a Memorial Hospital Jacksonville and Fawcett Memorial Hospital, Inc., Appellees/Cross-Appellants.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

April 28, 2006.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John R. Beranek, Stephen C. Emmanuel, and C. Gary Williams, of Ausley & McMullen, Tallahassee, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee.

Stephen A. Ecenia, J. Stephen Menton, Richard M. Ellis, of Rutledge, Ecenia, Purnell & Hoffman, P.A., Tallahassee, for Appellees/Cross-Appellants.

KAHN, C.J.

St. Vincent's Medical Center appeals a declaratory judgment holding section 408.036(3)(l), Florida Statutes (2004), unconstitutional. Finding the enactment to be a special law disguised as a general law, the circuit court struck down the law pursuant to article III, section 10 of the Florida Constitution. We affirm. We also affirm the circuit court's summary denial of the equal protection claim presented on cross-appeal.
