An act relating to town, city, and village reporting on the use of Opioid Abatement Special Funds

This bill requires towns, cities, and villages in Vermont that receive Opioid Abatement Special Funds to publicly post detailed reports on their websites about how they spent those funds. The key provision mandates that each municipality must make these utilization reports accessible online, ensuring transparency for residents. It directly affects all local governments receiving these specific state funds allocated to address opioid use disorder. The bill aims to provide clear, public accountability for how communities use opioid-related funding without altering the funds' purpose or allocation.
