Supervisors authorize county participation in Sandoz opioid settlement registration
Summary
The board authorized the county CFO to sign forms to participate in a national opioid abatement settlement with Sandoz; the county’s eventual share will depend on the number of subdivisions that sign on and is expected as a one-time payment in 2026.
Mitchell Kaye, chief financial officer, asked the board to authorize him to sign and administer forms associated with the Sandoz opioid settlement as part of the national opioid abatement settlement process.
Kaye said the settlement is a tentative agreement that requires counties and subdivisions to register within a 14-day window to participate. He described the settlement fund as part of a broader national pool (cited verbally as $99,500,000 across participants) and said the amount the county will receive depends on how many subdivisions join; he expected the county’s share would likely be a smaller portion and described it as a one-time payment that may be received in 2026.
The board voted to authorize Kaye to sign the online forms and participate in the subdivision registration.
