An Act To Require Reporting On The Expenditure Of Opioid Settlement Funds By Certain Municipalities And County Governments

This bill requires towns and counties in Maine that received opioid settlement funds as plaintiffs to report their spending annually to the Attorney General. Specifically, municipalities and counties identified in the 2022 and 2023 Memoranda of Understanding must detail all funds received and spent each year, including descriptions of each expenditure. The first report is due January 15, 2026, with annual reports required thereafter. The bill does not change how funds can be spent, only mandates transparency about their use.
