The spreadsheet below was last updated April 10, 2024.* Recent updates at the time: Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. See also Boston and Saipan. Please note: As of April 2024, Christine will no longer be updating the below “LIVE SPENDING UPDATES” column with state-specific opioid settlement spending news. The results of her weekly news tracking will instead appear as part of a forthcoming update to her and Vital Strategies’ Community Guides. Contact for more details.

The above spreadsheet is my 51-state survey of states’ opioid settlement spending plans, i.e., state-subdivision agreements (e.g., North Carolina’s MOA), allocation statutes (e.g., Indiana’s HB 1193), and statutory trusts (Massachusetts’ Opioid Recovery and Remediation Trust Fund). It links to and includes content from my and Vital Strategies’ recently released State-Level Guides for Community Advocates on Opioid Settlements. I update it every Sunday unless something truly chaotic has occurred.

• I read every Google Alert containing the words “opioid” and “settlement” + update the below each Sunday. Whenever I add an article to a state’s “LIVE SPENDING UPDATES” column, I turn any articles older than a month from blue to black.

• States with an asterisk (*) are those without plans acknowledged by the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee.
