PER CURIAM.
The state appeals an order declaring the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act, section 775.082, Florida Statutes (1997), unconstitutional for violating the single subject requirement of article III, section 6 of the Florida Constitution which provides that “[ejvery law shall embrace but one subject and matter properly connected therewith, and the subject shall be briefly expressed in the title.” We disagree and reverse.
This issue was affirmatively decided in Young v. State, 719 So. 2d 1010, 1011-12 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998), which held that the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act did not violate the single subject requirement, since each amended section dealt with reoffenders.
Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings in this cause.
STONE, C.J., WARNER and GROSS, JJ., concur.

Strontravez Nash v. State, 766 So. 2d 310 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000)…Constitution. He nonetheless acknowledges that this Court has upheld the constitutionality of the Act against a similar charge in Young v. State, 719 So. 2d 1010 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998), rev. denied, 727 So. 2d 915 (Fla.1999). See also State v. Eckford, 725 So. 2d 427 (Fla. 4th DCA), rev. dismissed, 732 So. 2d 326 (Fla.1999).
