Box Elder County agrees to join remnant-defendant opioid settlement
Summary
County attorneys asked commissioners to approve participation in the combined subdivision settlement for six remaining (remnant) defendants; the commission approved Agreement 26-11 to join the statewide settlement.
Box Elder County voted to participate in a statewide combined-subdivision settlement for opioid-related claims involving six remaining defendants. Annie Hansen of the county attorney’s office explained the county has joined previous settlement agreements and that Agreement 26-11 continues that process for the '6 remnant defendants.'
Hansen asked the commission to approve a participation release that allows Box Elder County to combine with other subdivisions in Utah to accept the settlement terms; commissioners approved the request by unanimous vote. No dollar amounts or distribution specifics were presented at the meeting; Hansen characterized this action as the final steps of joining the remnant-defendant phase of the broader opioid settlement process.
