Attorney General Todd Rokita is distributing $21,763,819.19 to Indiana cities, counties, and towns in the latest round of payments from opioid settlements secured under his leadership. These settlements were secured from companies that allegedly contributed to the state’s opioid epidemic through irresponsible and/or unlawful actions.
“These funds empower our communities to fight back against the devastating impact of opioid addiction,” Attorney General Rokita said.
The payments stem from settlements with CVS, pharmaceutical distributors (McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen), Allergan, and Teva. Under Attorney General Rokita’s leadership, Indiana’s opioid settlements now exceed $1.1 billion.
Local governments have flexibility in using these funds, which can support drug disposal programs, drug task forces, regional treatment hubs, early intervention, crisis support, and other programs aimed at addressing or preventing opioid use disorder and overdoses. Guidelines are available on the Attorney General’s website: https://www.in.gov/
The settlement framework maintains a 50-50 split between the state and local governments. The over $21.7 million allocated to local communities represents 50 percent of this round’s payments, with the other 50 percent directed to the State of Indiana.
In Marshall County, each community and the county received unrestricted funds. Marshall County received $9,031.89; Argos $1,575.38; Bourbon $1,623.52; Bremen $4,966.95; Culver $2,719.22; LaPaz $320.76, and the City of Plymouth $12,723.96.
Restricted funds for Marshall County were $58,287.49, and they paid $16,520.92 for the county’s share of attorney fees.
Argos was allotted $3,677.79, but under the statute governing distribution, cities and towns receiving less than $5,000 annually in abatement or restricted funding will have their distribution sent to the county.
Bourbon’s restricted funds of $3,790.22 were also given to Marshall County.
Bremen received $11,595.52, and Culver’s funds were $6,348.14.
The Town of LaPaz had its funds of $748.83 distributed to Marshall County, and Plymouth’s distribution is $29,704.48.
The additional funds Marshall County received under state statute totaled $8,216.84.
A detailed list of estimated payments to each community over the whole 18-year settlement period is available on the Office of the Attorney General’s website: https://www.in.gov/
