KLRD staff members coordinate and help plan interim committee meetings and certain commissions and task forces that meet throughout the year.
During the regular legislative session, standing committees are coordinated and planned by committee assistants, who should be contacted through the office of the standing committee's chairperson.
Standing Committees are established by statute or by House or Senate Leadership that meet during the regular legislative session.
Interim Committees are either established by statute and meet outside the regular legislative session (e.g. joint committees, oversight committees, commissions, and task forces) or are created by Legislative Coordinating Council to review specified topics and legislation during the Interim.

CHARGE
Review Pharmacy Benefits Management Legislation
In February, the Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance
reviewed 2015 SB 103, a bill that would enact new law establishing requirements
for Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs), including publication of price lists and
the drugs included on the lists, an appeals process for network pharmacies
requesting reimbursement for drugs subject to MAC, and penalties for PBMs
found to be in violation of the act, and would amend the Pharmacy Benefits
Manager Registration Act to update the definition of “pharmacy benefits
manager.”
The Committee is to review 2015 SB 103 and relevant issues associated with
pharmacy benefits management, including maximum allowable cost (MAC)
pricing of generic drugs, and the implications for Kansas pharmacies and health
plans.
Study the Need to Increase the Minimum Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Policy Limits
and, If Needed, What Limits Would be Indicated
In February, the House Committee on Insurance held a hearing on HB 2067. The
bill would have increased the mandatory minimum motor vehicle liability policy
limits. After hearing proponent and opponent testimony, no action was taken. The
Committee indicated the need to study the matter before action, if any, was
taken. Under existing law, KSA 40-3107, the minimum policy coverage limits in
any one accident is $25,000 for bodily injury or death of one person and $50,000
for two or more persons, and $10,000 for harm to or destruction of the property of
others. The last changes to these limits were made in 1984.
