Under the terms of the settlements, the settling companies will pay the State of Florida and its subdivisions over $3 billion. A copy of the settlements and other settlement details can be found HERE. Florida’s share of the settlements will be appropriated by the Legislature and the Governor. The Florida Department of Children and Families’ Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health is the State Opioid Treatment Authority, and as such will oversee statewide prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts utilizing the settlement funds. Additionally, the Department will establish the Office of Recovery to lead cross-agency collaborations and community partnerships that will implement strategies and expand programs to serve Florida communities.
