Authorizing the secretary of administration to grant a monetary award to a state employee who reports activity that constitutes fraud, waste or abuse of funds in any program administered by a state agency.

SB 450 establishes a state employee suggestion program focused on cost reductions in state agency operations. Employees who submit cost-saving suggestions adopted by a state agency receive a monetary award equal to 10% of the documented cost savings (up to $5,000) within the first year of implementation. This award is part of the state's existing employee recognition program, which caps total annual awards at $3,500 per employee. The bill amends Kansas law to create this specific program under the secretary of administration's oversight.
