Summary of Request:
In 2022, California announced the final settlement agreements with prescription opioid manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Johnson & Johnson (collectively “Janssen”) and pharmaceutical distributors McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen (collectively, Distributors). Mendocino County is a part of participating subdivision and plaintiff subdivision of the California Opioid Settlements.
Funds received from the California Opioid Settlement shall be distributed as follows:
