   27  airports only after the requirements of rule 14-60.005(4),
   28  Florida Administrative Code, have been met. The department is
   29  not required to physically inspect the site.
   30         3. Due to the urgent time requirements often related to a
   31  temporary airport registration or license, the department may
   32  not publish an announcement for public review and comment
   33  regarding its issuance of a temporary airport site approval
   34  order.
   35         4. Temporary airport site approval orders shall take effect
   36  concurrently with the date of issuance of the temporary
   37  registration or temporary license.
   38         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2023.
