LC 4064 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise laws related to state settlement money

This bill requires that most money recovered by state agencies through litigation or settlement agreements be deposited into the state general fund, rather than being used for other purposes. The law applies to settlements made after July 1, 2025, and excludes specific categories such as tobacco settlement funds, victim restitution, and natural resource damage recoveries. Agencies may use some settlement money to cover their own litigation costs, but any remaining funds must go to the general fund, with exceptions that the governor can authorize if reported to the legislature.
