   35  preserve the status of any cited rule as a rule under chapter
   36  120, Florida Statutes. This act does not cure any rulemaking
   37  defect or preempt any challenge based on lack of authority or a
   38  violation of the legal requirements governing the adoption of
   39  any rule cited.
