    5         (d) The Office of Insurance Regulation, in consultation
    6  with the Workers’ Compensation Cost Task Force, shall prepare a
    7  report analyzing the use of negotiated workers’ compensation
    8  premium provisions within retrospective rating plans. The report
    9  shall examine the use of such provisions in neighboring and
   10  competitive states, specifically as to savings in the actual
   11  premium if a retrospective rating deviation is applied compared
   12  to the standard workers’ compensation premium, and as to the
   13  potential inequity for Florida’s employers due to the lack of
   14  such authorization in this state. The report must examine the
   15  potential savings to Florida’s employers as a result of
   16  implementation of negotiated premiums for employers that have
   17  exposure in more than one state and an estimated annual
   18  countrywide standard premium of at least $250,000, $500,000, and
   19  $750,000. This report shall be delivered to the task force for
   20  approval by September 1, 2014, and the approved report shall be
   21  delivered to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the
   22  House of Representatives by November 1, 2014.
   23         (e) This subsection shall be repealed June 30, 2015.
