State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Gables3/5/2003
5(b)(5), thus leaving 5(b)(5)'s effectiveness controlled by 5(b)(5) itself. As the effective date language of subsection (5)(b)(5) remains unambiguous it is governed by the application of the plain meaning rule, which precludes the use of parol evidence to determine legislative intent. Pursuant to this rule the trial court was not free to depart from the plain and ordinary meaning of the words used by the legislature in order to establish the effective date. E.g., Specialty Restaurants Corp. v. City of Miami, 501 So. 2d 101 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987).
The effective date of section 627.736(5)(b)(5), Florida Statutes as established by section 6 of the Act, is the effective date of the Act, June 19, 2001. Accordingly the final summary judgments are reversed and the causes remanded for further proceedings consistent herewith.
