Williams v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided March 5, 1987No. 86-1283Published

1Opinion of the Court

UPCHURCH, Chief Judge.

Raymond Williams appeals a judgment adjudicating him guilty of the unlawful sale or delivery of cannabis, an offense which he committed in February 1985. Williams argues that the trial court erred *8in imposing a $200 fine pursuant to section 27.3455, Florida Statutes (1985). We agree.

In Yost v. State, 489 So.2d 131 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986), we held that a court cannot impose costs under section 27.3455 for crimes committed prior to July 1, 1985. We certify to the supreme court the same question we certified in Yost:
