County signs on to new Purdue/Sackler opioid settlement participation agreement
Summary
Carbon County voted to participate in a state attorney-general participation agreement applying the state’s distribution formula to a new round of Purdue/Sackler opioid settlements; commissioners approved participation by voice vote.
Carbon County commissioners agreed Aug. 5 to participate in a new round of opioid settlements (described in the packet as Purdue and Sackler-family settlement participation) and to adopt the state’s participation form and distribution formula outlined by the attorney general’s office.
Commissioners discussed the procedural nature of the participation agreement; one commissioner asked if signing completes the county’s participation and staff confirmed that the board needed to vote to authorize signing. The board approved participation by voice vote and will complete required signature paperwork.
The action affirms the county’s participation in statewide settlement-distribution procedures; staff will follow up with the attorney general’s office on next steps for disbursement and reporting.
