MARY FISHER, APPELLANT, v. LOUIS FISHER AND SYBIL FISHER, HIS WIFE, APPELLEES.

PER CURIAM.

We review an order by which the paternal grandparents were granted weekly visitation of the widowed appellant's three young children.

By reference to the provisions of Section 68.08, Florida Statutes (Supp. 1978), we find that the trial court acted within its authority in granting visitation privileges to appellees herein.

Ch. 78-5, § 2, Laws of Fla., which became § 68.08, Fla. Stat. (Supp. 1978), became law upon approval by the Governor on April 25, 1978. See Art. III, § 8(a), Fla. Const. The circuit court's Final Order on Visitation was signed on October 12, 1978.

The same Order seeks to facilitate its visitation provision by forbidding appellant to remove her children from Broward County, where she and they now reside. This was error. § 61.13(2)(b), Fla. Stat. (Supp. 1978).

Ch. 78-5, § 1, Laws of Fla.; see note 1, supra.

The Order, insofar as it permits visitation by the grandparents, is affirmed; paragraph four of that order, only insofar as it restricts appellant's ability to remove her children and herself from the state or jurisdiction of the circuit court, is reversed.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part.
