Opinion

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

PER CURIAM.

We grant the motion for rehearing, withdraw our prior order, and substitute this opinion in its place.

We reverse the county court’s order finding the mandatory $5,000 civil penalty imposed for solicitation.of prostitution under Section 796.07(6), Florida Statutes (2014), to be unconstitutionally excessive. See State v. Jones, Case No. 4D14-3019, 2015 WL 7752702 (Fla. 4th DCA Dec. 2, 2015). Because Sookraj had pled not guilty to the charge of solicitation of prostitution when the county court issued the order, we remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Reversed and Remanded.

CIKLIN, C.J., TAYLOR and CONNER, JJ., concur.
