Commission approves county participation in two opioid settlement agreements
Summary
Millard County commissioners voted to approve participation in two national opioid settlement agreements, including a Purdue/Sackler settlement and a secondary manufacturer settlement. Commissioners directed staff to forward the digital contracts for review and signed participation via motion.
The Millard County Board of Commissioners voted to approve participation in national opioid settlement agreements, including the Purdue/Sackler settlement and a separate secondary‑manufacturer settlement. Commissioners approved both settlements in a single motion after staff advised the agreements were part of a larger set of national settlements counties have joined.
Staff reported they had spoken with the Utah Association of Counties and confirmed these settlements follow prior opioid settlement rounds and did not present new legal terms beyond those earlier rounds. One commissioner asked staff to forward the digital contract copy to the commissioner for review; staff agreed to do so.
A commissioner moved to approve county participation in both settlement contracts; another commissioner seconded the motion and commissioners voiced their assent. No budget action or allocation to specific program spending was recorded in the meeting minutes; commissioners did not specify how settlement funds, if received, would be allocated.
