Presenter: Christine Minhee, JD, Founder of OpioidSettlementTracker.com
In 2023, state and local governments received a significant $1.5 billion influx of funds from settlements with major companies involved in the opioid crisis. This funding, initially nebulous, quickly became a crucial resource for combating addiction. Christine Minhee, the driving force behind OpioidSettlementTracker.com, oversees the monitoring of these funds.
In Ms. Minhee’s recent webinar, a 2024 Snapshot of State and Local Opioid Settlement Spending, she covered three key points:
- Overview of current state: Understanding the overall landscape of settlements.
- Analysis of settlement agreements: Contrasting the requirements with actual actions taken by states and localities.
- Recommendations for effective spending.
Additionally, Ms. Minhee offered practical tips for navigating OpioidSettlementTracker.com to stay updated on agreements and expenditures.
