   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

   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.
