Kansas lawmakers drafted a compromise plan to address KPERS funding without committing to a 401 k style plan for teachers and public workers. A commission would study whether to adopt such a plan, with recommendations due next year, while employees choose higher contributions or reduced future benefits. The bill would increase stateKPERS funding starting July 2013 and advance to votes in both chambers before potential enactment by Gov. Brownback.
