Bill > HB2777

This bill appropriates funds from the Opioid Lawsuit Settlement Fund (Fund 383) to the Oklahoma Opioid Abatement Revolving Fund, which was established under Section 30.6 of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Specifically, the bill allocates two separate amounts: first, $20 million to be budgeted and expended according to existing law, and second, $1,253,658 to be distributed to non-litigating subdivisions. The bill is designed to support efforts to address the opioid crisis in Oklahoma by providing financial resources to the Opioid Abatement Revolving Fund. The appropriations will become effective on July 1, 2025, and the bill includes an emergency clause stating that it is immediately necessary for public peace, health, and safety. This legislation is part of Oklahoma's ongoing strategy to mitigate the impacts of the opioid epidemic by utilizing funds from lawsuit settlements to support opioid abatement efforts across the state.
