Effective state administration is materially enhanced by programs designed to encourage and create a condition of health fitness in state administrators and employees and public money spent for these programs serves important public purposes, including:
(1) an understanding and diminution of the risk factors associated with society’s most debilitating diseases;
(2) the development of greater work productivity and capacity;
(3) a reduction in absenteeism;
(4) a reduction of health insurance costs; and
(5) an increase in the general level of fitness.
