    8         400.996 Enforcement contracts.—The agency may contract with
    9  counties to enforce the Health Care Clinic Act and rules adopted
   10  thereunder for clinics that are required to be licensed under
   11  this part and that receive reimbursement for services under the
   12  Florida Motor Vehicle No-Fault Law. A contracting county must

   15  shall report alleged violations of the act or part II of chapter
   16  408 to the agency with supporting documentation. The agency
   17  shall review the allegations and documentation and determine
   18  whether such violations have occurred for the purposes of s.
   19  400.995 and chapter 120. The agency shall provide the county
   20  with the results of its initial review and its intended action
   21  within 10 business days after receiving the report. Thereafter,
   22  the agency shall provide notice to the county of any agency
   23  action regarding the alleged violations within 5 business days
   24  after such action.
