   14  sole and exclusive purpose of satisfying any condition on
   15  effectiveness imposed under s. 120.541(3), Florida Statutes:
   16         (a) Rule 64B8-9.0134, Florida Administrative Code, relating

   21  Pain-Management Clinics, for the Board of Osteopathic Medicine.
   22         (2) This act serves no other purpose and shall not be
   23  codified in the Florida Statutes. After this act becomes a law,
   24  its enactment and effective dates shall be noted in the Florida
   25  Administrative Code or the Florida Administrative Weekly or
   26  both, as appropriate. This act does not alter rulemaking
   27  authority delegated by prior law, does not constitute

   31  under chapter 120, Florida Statutes. This act does not cure any
   32  rulemaking defect or preempt any challenge based on a lack of
   33  authority or a violation of the legal requirements governing the
   34  adoption of any rule cited.
   35         Section 2. This act shall take effect upon becoming a law.
