Diabetes Type 2 Prevention Program for ERS Participants. Out of funds appropriated above, the Employees Retirement System of Texas (ERS) shall, in consultation with the Texas Diabetes Council (TDC), assess the prevalence of pre-diabetes among the state employees population, and develop an economic analysis related to providing an evidence-based prevention program. If the economic analysis and prevalence data support it, ERS shall, in consultation with TDC and the ERS third-party administrator, develop and implement a cost-effective diabetes Type 2 prevention program for state employees. The result of this analysis and action taken by ERS will be included in a report to the legislature and governor on this program by August 31, 2016.
