Lancaster County OKs participation in nationwide opioid settlement agreements
Summary
The Board approved Resolution No. 23 of 2026 authorizing the county to sign participation forms and ancillary documents to receive its local allocation under nationwide opioid settlement agreements with several distributors and pharmacies.
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners on April 22 adopted Resolution No. 23 of 2026 authorizing the county to execute participation forms and ancillary documents needed to become a Participating Subdivision in the proposed nationwide settlements with several defendants, including Associated Pharmacies, J M Smith Corporation, Louisiana Wholesale Drug Company, and United Natural Foods, Inc.
The motion notes that settlement agreements and summaries have been provided to Lancaster County and are publicly available on the National Opioid Settlement website; the County will receive its local allocation only after signing the Participation Agreements. The resolution passed with Commissioners D'Agostino and Parsons voting yes and Commissioner Yoder absent.
The action formalizes Lancaster County's acceptance of the settlements' terms and authorizes staff to execute the participation documents necessary to secure the county's share of the nationwide settlement consideration.
