   15         Section 1. (1) The following rule is ratified for the sole
   16  and exclusive purpose of satisfying any condition on
   17  effectiveness imposed under s. 120.541(3), Florida Statutes:
   18  Rule 62-42.300, Florida Administrative Code, titled “Minimum
   19  Flows and Levels and Recovery and Prevention Strategies” as

   24  its enactment and effective dates shall be noted in the Florida
   25  Administrative Code, the Florida Administrative Register, or
   26  both, as appropriate. This act does not alter rulemaking

   31  under chapter 120, Florida Statutes. This act does not cure any

   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.
