A bill for an act relating to the opioid settlement fund, making appropriations, and including effective date provisions.

This bill establishes how Iowa's opioid settlement fund will be managed and used to address the opioid crisis, impacting state agencies, healthcare providers, and Iowans needing treatment. It mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Attorney General (AG) annually propose appropriations, with 75% of available funds going to HHS and 25% to the AG, and requires regular reports on disbursements. For fiscal year 2024-2025, the bill appropriates $12 million to HHS for grants to specific nonprofit organizations to expand a nature-based recovery campus, and an additional $30 million to HHS for general opioid crisis abatement efforts. These funds aim to support treatment, prevention, and recovery services for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders.
