75-6509. Report, recommendations and cost estimates to legislature. Commencing with the regular session of the legislature in 1985 and with each regular session of the legislature thereafter, the Kansas state employees health care commission shall submit to the president of the senate and to the speaker of the house of representatives, on the day the governor's budget report is submitted to the legislature, recommendations with respect to the state health care benefits program together with estimates of the cost of the program proposed by the commission, including a five-year projection of the cost of the program, and the estimated cost of admitting each entity pursuant to K.S.A. 75-6506(c), and amendments thereto. The recommendations shall include a report on the current and projected reserve balance, including as a percentage of total plan expenses. For any reserve balance over 10% of the average plan expenses for the immediately preceding three plan years, the commission shall provide recommendations for reducing reserves by minimizing increases to employee contributions or cost-sharing requirements. Together with the recommendations submitted, the commission shall include alternatives for cost containment and benefit coverage for qualified persons for both the proposed program and the five-year projected program. The commission shall also submit any recommendations for legislation with respect to the state health care benefits program.
