The Attorney General of the State of Idaho has joined nationwide settlements with Johnson & Johnson and three major opioid distributers, AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson and a final bankruptcy plan with Mallinckrodt PLC. These resolve legal claims by participating States and local governments stemming from actions that fueled the opioid-addiction crisis. All 44 Counties, 24 eligible Cities, and 7 Regional Health Districts have also agreed to participate and will directly receive funds under the settlements and bankruptcy plan. Certain Hospital, Fire, and School Districts have also agreed to participate which has enabled Idaho to receive the maximum amount of funds available from the opioid settlements.
The State, participating cities and counties, and participating health districts entered into the Idaho Intrastate Allocation Agreement, which governs how opioid settlements funds allocated to Idaho will be split. The Agreement provides that 40% of funds will go to the State; 40% to participating cities and counties; and 20% to participating health districts. All of the opioid settlement funds must be used for approved opioid remediation programs. Opioid settlement funds allocated to the State will be deposited into the State-Directed Opioid Settlement Fund, created by Idaho Code § 57-825. Funds from the State Directed Opioid Settlement Fund will be appropriated by the Idaho Legislator to fund approved opioid remediation programs based on recommendations made by the Idaho Behavioral Health Council. Information about the Idaho Behavior Health Council is available at https://behavioralhealthcouncil.idaho.gov. The State, health districts, cities and counties that receive opioid settlement funds shall provide annual reports at the end of each fiscal year itemizing funds received and expenditures for that year which will be posted on this webpage.
This webpage will be updated periodically to provide current information on the status of the settlement agreements, participation by local governments, and payments made under the agreements.
On November 22, 2022, opioid manufacturers Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and Allergan plc announced tentative settlements for a combined $4.8 billion with participating states and local governments resolving allegations that the company contributed to the opioid addiction crisis. Idaho has until December 22, 2022, to determine whether to sign on to the settlements. If Idaho signs on, eligible local governments will have until April 5, 2023, to decide whether to participate as well.
On November 15, 2022, Walmart announced a tentative settlement for $3.1 billion with participating states and local governments resolving allegations that the company contributed to the opioid addiction crisis. Idaho has until December 15, 2022, to determine whether to sign on to the settlements. If Idaho signs on, eligible local governments will have until March 31, 2023, to decide whether to participate as well.
