    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 s. 381.986, Florida
   17  Statutes, must be granted cultivation authorization by the
   18  Department of Health and is authorized to operate as a
   19  dispensing organization for the full term of its original
   20  approval and all subsequent renewals pursuant to s. 381.986,
   21  Florida Statutes. If an organization that does not meet the
   22  definition in subsection (1) of that section demonstrates in any
   23  proceeding that it was entitled to be a dispensing organization
   24  under s. 381.986, Florida Statutes, and applicable rules, such
   25  organization and an organization meeting the criteria of
   26  subsection (1) shall both be dispensing organizations in the
   27  same region listed in s. 381.986(5)(b), Florida Statutes. During
   28  the operations of any dispensing organization meeting the
   29  criteria in this section, the Department of Health may enforce
   30  rule 64-4.005, Florida Administrative Code, as filed on June 17,
   31  2015.
