State officials are reviewing counties’ reports on how they spent millions they received from the first round of opioid settlement payments.
Members of the Pennsylvania Opioid Misuse and Addiction Abatement Trust are now analyzing the reports after the counties met a filing deadline last week. Trust members have the power to withhold and ultimately cut funding if they decide counties spent the money improperly.
County governments have received the largest share of the state’s 54 million dollars in settlement money, which is scheduled to be paid out over 18 years.
