Craig County packet includes resolutions to participate in opioid settlements; participation forms referenced
Summary
Resolutions in the board packet would authorize Craig County to participate in two proposed opioid settlement programs and direct county staff to sign required participation and release documents.
The board packet includes two resolutions asking the county to participate in proposed opioid settlements: one covering the Sackler family settlement and another covering proposed settlements with manufacturers Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun and Zydus (R25-75 and R25-76).
Both resolutions describe the county’s participation in the Virginia Opioid Abatement Fund and reference the Virginia MOU that governs how settlement proceeds are allocated across Commonwealth localities. The texts direct the County Administrator to execute the participation forms and any releases required to effectuate the county’s participation. The packet states that the county attorney reviewed settlement information and recommended participation to recover the county’s share of settlement funds.
What the packet shows: The resolutions are prepared to (1) approve participation and (2) direct the County Administrator to sign required closing and release paperwork. The provided pages include the full resolution texts, but a recorded roll-call vote for these two R25 items is not present in the supplied transcript pages. The packet language indicates the intent to participate and to treat proceeds in accordance with the Virginia Opioid Abatement Fund allocation memorandum.
