    8  competition such that the requirements of s. 627.351(6)(a)3.b.

   10  study any other county similarly situated. Each study must
   11  consider whether a lack of competition has been found in any
   12  adjoining counties and whether the factors that led to any such
   13  finding apply in the studied county. The office shall submit a
   14  report of its findings concerning Broward County to the
   15  Governor, the Chief Financial Officer, the President of the
   16  Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives no later
   17  than September 1, 2022. The findings concerning any other county

   20  the Speaker of the House of Representatives within 90 days after
   21  the commencement of the study. This section expires December 31,
