Committee authorizes RFP to solicit community proposals for JUUL settlement funds
Summary
Public health staff received committee approval to issue an RFP for JUUL settlement funds with selection filters tied to Office of the Attorney General-approved uses and evidence-based practices; members urged school-focused prevention.
Public health staff requested and won committee authorization to issue an RFP to solicit proposals for use of JUUL (vaping) settlement funds. Staff said the RFP would screen proposals by whether uses match the Office of the Attorney General's approved categories and prefer evidence‑based approaches.
"The over the overall filter, if you would, would be the office of attorney general's office approved uses," a public health presenter said while describing the expected criteria. Committee members asked that proposals prioritize school-based prevention and work with the county's prevention coalition to refine scope and evidence standards.
The committee approved the RFP authorization; staff will develop evaluation criteria and return recommendations for fund allocation after proposals are received.
