STATE of Florida; The Florida Department of Health; John H. Armstrong, M.D., in His Official Capacity as Secretary of Health for the State of Florida; The Florida Board of Medicine; James Orr, M.D., in His Official Capacity as Chair of the Florida Board of Medicine; The Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine; Anna Hayden, D.O., in Her Official Capacity as Chair of the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine; The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration; and Elizabeth Dudek, in Her Official Capacity as Secretary of The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, Appellants, v. GAINESVILLE WOMAN CARE LLC, et al., Appellees.
ON REMAND FROM THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
The 2015 amendment to Florida's informed consent law for termination of pregnancies, section 390.0111(3)(a) of the Florida Statutes, created a 24–hour waiting period. We previously reversed the trial court's temporary injunction against implementation of the amendment, because we found the injunction order deficient both factually and legally. State v. Gainesville Woman Care LLC, 187 So. 3d 279 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016). The Florida Supreme Court quashed that decision, remanding “with instructions that the temporary injunction and accompanying stay ․ remain in effect pending a hearing on Petitioners' request for a permanent injunction.” Gainesville Woman Care, LLC v. State, 42 Fla. L. Weekly S183a (Fla. Feb. 16, 2017). We therefore remand this matter to the trial court for further proceedings as directed by the supreme court.
PER CURIAM.
