    4  and insert:
    5         Section 3. Notwithstanding s. 381.986(5)(b), Florida
    6  Statutes, a dispensing organization that receives notice from
    7  the Department of Health that it is approved as a region’s
    8  dispensing organization, posts a $5 million performance bond in
    9  compliance with rule 64-4.002(5)(e), Florida Administrative
   10  Code, meets the requirements of and requests cultivation
   11  authorization pursuant to rule 64-4.005(2), Florida
   12  Administrative Code, and expends at least $100,000 to fulfill
   13  its legal obligations as a dispensing organization; or any
   14  applicant that would have received notice of such approval from
   15  the Department of Health but for an erroneous finding that the
   16  applicant failed to meet the requirements of that section must
   17  be granted cultivation authorization by the Department of Health
   18  and is authorized to operate as a dispensing organization for
   19  the full term of its original approval and all subsequent
   20  renewals pursuant to s. 381.986, Florida Statutes. An action at
   21  any time by the Division of Administrative Hearings, the
   22  Department of Health, or a court having jurisdiction which has
   23  the effect of approving a dispensing organization that does not
   24  meet the criteria of this section, does not impair the
   25  authorization granted herein to a dispensing organization that
   26  meets the criteria of this section. Any dispensing organization
   27  approvals resulting from orders of the Division of
   28  Administrative Hearings, the Department of Health, or a court
   29  having jurisdiction shall be in addition to the five dispensing
   30  organizations authorized by s. 381.986(5)(b). During the
   31  operation of any dispensing organization meeting the criteria in
   32  this section, the Department of Health may enforce rule 64
   33  4.005, Florida Administrative Code, as filed on June 17, 2015.
