ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE NOW
ACT NOW TO STOP YOUR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FROM USING OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUNDS TO PAY OTHER BILLS
Opioid settlement funds are supposed to be kept separate and to be used for education, prevention, treatment, and harm reduction. But nothing in the settlement agreement prevents states or counties from using the Settlement Funds to pay for programs that are already funded while moving the money that is currently paying for these programs back […]
