In case of any failure by any employer, employee, or employee organization to comply
with any order of the Public Employees Relations Commission, upon application of the
Commission or, notwithstanding the provisions of F.S. Section 120.69(1)(b)1, upon
application of any person who is a resident of the State and who is substantially
interested in an order, any circuit court of this State shall have jurisdiction to
enforce the order pursuant to the provisions of F.S. Section 120.69. However, if one
or more petitions for enforcement and a notice of appeal involving the same agency
action are pending at the same time, the district court of appeal considering the
notice of appeal shall order all actions transferred to and consolidated in the district
court of appeal. If a petition for enforcement is filed after the time for filing
notice of appeal has expired, the respondent may assert as a defense only that the
agency action was not intended to apply to respondent or that respondent has complied
with the agency action. Petitions for enforcement filed under this Section shall be
heard expeditiously by the circuit court to which presented, and shall take precedence
over all other civil matters except prior matters of the same character.
