Commission opts in to additional opioid settlement defendants as attorney recommended
Summary
On advice of the county's attorney handling opioid litigation, the commission voted to opt in to settlements with several remnant defendants to secure additional settlement funds flowing through the state.
The commission voted to opt in to a new round of opioid settlement funds that add several remnant defendants to the county’s distribution list. The defendants named included Associated Pharmacies Incorporated and related entities such as Supervalu and Advantage Logistics, J.M. Smith Corporation, Louisiana Wholesale Drug Company Inc., and National and United Natural Foods Inc.; the county’s local attorney recommended participation.
A commissioner said the opt‑in would add additional settlement funds to distributions the county already receives through statewide allocation mechanisms. The motion to opt in passed by voice vote.
