As of 2023, state and local governments have negotiated over $50 billion in settlements from companies in the pharmaceutical industry. The national opioid settlements reflect years of coordinated legal action and intergovernmental cooperation within and between states. As the settlements are paid out over the next 17 years, continuous intergovernmental coordination is key to achieving the maximum impact of these investments. This event will bring together leaders from all levels of government to discuss effective strategies for investing opioid settlement funds and to explore opportunities to strengthen intergovernmental coordination in our nation’s response to the opioid epidemic.
Stakeholders in the DC area are encouraged to attend this event in-person by registering at the link above.
