On or before March first, after the one-year period for which the mandate has been applied, the board of trustees of the Missouri consolidated health care plan shall submit to the president pro tem of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives a report indicating the impact such mandated coverage has had on the Missouri consolidated health care plan, including data on the utilization and costs of such mandated coverage.
