New York entities would report opioid settlement spending for state review

Entities that directly receive opioid settlement funds would post and submit yearly reports on how they used the money. The state office would review, approve, and repost the reports. This applies to New York government entities that directly received money under a statewide opioid settlement agreement. The Office of Addiction Services and Supports would check whether the money was used for purposes allowed by the cited state laws and settlement agreements. Entities must post and submit the information on or before November 1 each year and update it annually. The act would take effect immediately if enacted.
