Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission to meet
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A gaggle chosen final month to show an enormous settlement into motion to fight opioid dependancy will meet for the primary time this week.
The Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Fee will maintain its first assembly Tuesday afternoon on the Capital Complicated East in Frankfort, Lawyer Basic Daniel Cameron mentioned. The assembly is open to the general public and will likely be livestreamed.
The panel is charged with administering Kentucky’s portion of settlements finalized this yr with drugmaker Johnson & Johnson and three main distributors.
Half of Kentucky’s $483 million settlement will movement on to cities and counties for opioid-abuse abatement efforts and the fee will oversee the state’s half.
