The court did not reach the constitutionality of Act 1002 because the circuit court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to enter its final order while an interlocutory appeal concerning the same constitutional issue was pending. Because the final order was void, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and vacated the circuit court's order.
