Commission approves county's participation in opioid settlement documents
Summary
Following counsel's recommendation, the commission approved the settlement documents related to the national opioid litigation and designated a commissioner to sign.
Fayette County commissioners approved the settlement documents related to the county's participation in the opioid litigation at their Sept. 18 meeting following a recommendation from county counsel.
The county attorney for the opioid settlement advised commissioners to approve the documents included in the meeting packet. Commissioners had no concerns and moved to approve the settlement documents; the board noted that Commissioner Brown will sign the county's paperwork on the county's behalf.
Why it matters: opioid settlement funds allocated to counties can be used for abatement and treatment programs; approval of the settlement document enables the county to receive any allocation provided under the settlement terms.
