Bill > LD110

This bill requires municipalities and counties that receive funds from opioid-related legal settlements (known as "direct share subdivisions") to submit annual reports to the Attorney General detailing how they have spent these funds. Specifically, these local governments must file a report by January 15, 2026, and each year thereafter, explaining the total amount of settlement funds received and providing a description of each expenditure made in the previous calendar year. The Attorney General is then required to compile these individual reports and submit a comprehensive summary to the legislative committee responsible for health and human services by February 15, 2026, and annually after that. The bill references specific sections of the Memoranda of Understanding related to the opioid crisis settlements, ensuring transparency in how these legal settlement funds are being used at the local level to address the impacts of the opioid epidemic.
