Opinion:
HAWKES J.
We are asked to determine whether the amendments adopted by the 2000 Florida Legislature to section 440.20(ll)(c), Florida Statutes (2001), eliminated the JCC's jurisdiction to determine whether a settlement agreement was reached, or to deter mine the terms of such an agreement. Based on the reasoning discussed in Jacob-sen v. Ross Stores & Sedgwick Claims, 1D03-2868, 882 So.2d 431, 2004 WL 1877558 (Fla. 1st DCA Aug. 24, 2004), we conclude they do not. Because it is within the province of the JCC to determine whether a settlement agreement was reached, and if so, to establish its terms, the JCC's order to the contrary is REVERSED.
ERVIN and ALLEN, JJ., concur.
