Explanation
The bill could result in a cost to the Opioid Settlement Fund and a
corresponding potential revenue gain to various municipal police
departments. The bill allows such funds to be distributed to
departments for the purpose of equipping police officers with opioid
antagonists.
The Opioid Settlement Fund is a separate, nonlapsing fund
administered by a 37-member Opioid Settlement Advisory Committee
with assistance from DMHAS. Expenditures must be approved by the
Committee and used only in accordance with the controlling judgment,
consent decree, or settlement.
