consequential energy issues materially
affecting Kansas electric rates."
Sub SB 69 was not an oil and gas bill,
Cross emphasizes, so the study will cover
many things that may not directly impact
the oil patch. Nevertheless, he says, thanks
in large part to testimony provided by
KIOGA Electric Power Committee Chairman Adam Beren, two significant issues
to be included in the study are:
· Whether current rate-making processes for electric cooperatives and municipal
utilities are in the public interest; and
· Whether competitive retail electricity
markets could benefit all Kansas consumers.
One late development, Cross mentions,
is that the Legislative Coordinating Council
on July 9 failed to award a contract for
the study because Sub SB 69 requires
that at least one of the two Democrats on
the seven-man committee vote for the
contractor chosen. But, he says, both Democrats voted no while all five Republicans voted yes.
"It appears the Democrats were trying
to steer the study to their preferred bidder:
a San Francisco-based company that focuses on green energy development. Failure to award the contract may mean the
study won't be completed this year,"
Cross relates.
Health Insurance
Happily, Cross continues, legislation
enabling KIOGA to create a health insurance plan to cover members' employees
also passed this year, despite earlier
reports to the contrary.

KIOGA Chairman Kenneth White reported at KIOGA's midyear meeting in
April, prior to the legislature's veto session,
that confusion surrounding a more controversial measure enabling the Kansas
Farm Bureau to provide healthcare benefit
coverage outside the auspices of the state
insurance commissioner appeared to have
derailed the KIOGA-supported bill.
"We had been told the governor would
not sign the bill because of the Farm Bureau
portion, so that is pretty much what I said
during a (midyear meeting) panel discussion,"
White, president of White Exploration Inc.
in Wichita, remembers. "It was very soon
after the midyear meeting we learned she
was going to let it go through."
In the end, White says, those two
measures as well as several other insurance-related items were combined into
HB 2209, passed and allowed by Governor

Laura Kelly to become law without her
signature. The association health plan
portion, he says, aligns Kansas law with
federal regulations by removing a membership limitation.
"We will have a break-out session at
our August convention and hope to have
a product to submit to our membership
by the first of the year," White reports.
White says he, along with Jamie McDonald with the Hays Companies of
Kansas, will lead the afternoon seminar
session on the new law during the second
day of KIOGA's convention.
"Since it is a new law, our insurance
providers are working their way through
it to determine exactly how it will work,"
offers Cross.
Among the questions Cross says he
has heard are whether a company with
employees outside the state can enroll
