Opioid Settlement Fund; bring forward section creating.
HB 1130 relocates an existing section of Mississippi law that established the Opioid Settlement Fund. This fund holds money from settlements with opioid manufacturers (like Johnson & Johnson) and retailers (like Walmart and CVS) that the state Attorney General collected. The bill moves the fund’s legal description to a new location in the state code to allow for future amendments, but it does not change how the fund operates or how money is spent. The fund’s current rules - such as requiring legislative approval for spending and preventing unspent funds from lapsing - remain unchanged.
