REVISED OPINION
2Per curiam
This matter is before the Court for consideration of proposed amendments to the Florida Rules of Traffic Court.1 We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.
We issue this revised opinion to address the enactment of new legislation that affects our analysis of the proposed amendments to rule 6.600(c). We also address the inadvertent omission from our opinion of the words “by jury,” which was brought to our attention in a motion for clarification filed by attorney Steven D. Rubin.
