Court discusses opting in to opioid settlement funds; attorneys present
Summary
Presiding officer told the court it must agree to participate in an opioid settlement and noted that attorneys and legal complexity make the opt-in process more involved than originally expected.
The presiding officer introduced an agenda item about participation in opioid settlement funds and noted that the issue has become increasingly complex over time. "We have to agree to participate in this," the chair said, and observed that attorneys were present to assist with the opt-in process.
The chair characterized the matter as legal in nature and implied the court would rely on counsel before finalizing participation. The transcript indicates the court acknowledged the need to opt in and that attorney involvement was required, but it does not record a formal vote on an opt-in during this session.
