8 Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the
9 House of Representatives, an evaluation of the salary credit
10 provided in ss. 624.509 and 624.5091, Florida Statutes.
11 (1) The Office and OPPAGA shall coordinate the development

14 (2) The Office shall evaluate and determine the economic
15 effect and value of the salary credit on the state’s economy
16 over the previous 10 years.
17 (a) The analysis must include:
18 1. The total number of persons employed by insurance
19 companies in this state;
20 2. The number of jobs created by insurance companies in
21 this state;
22 3. The average annual income of persons holding such jobs;
23 4. The economic impact of insurance companies on local
24 communities, including real estate taxes, local business taxes,
25 charitable activities; and
