The state is expected to receive approximately $53 million as part of the tentative settlement, according to a news release from the Indiana Attorney General's Office.
Indiana is part of a $3.1-billion tentative settlement with Walmart over allegations the retail giant played a role in the country's opioid crisis by failing to adequately supervise distributions at its locations.
The state is expected to receive approximately $53 million as part of the tentative settlement, according to a news release from the Indiana Attorney General's Office. Sixteen state attorneys general, including Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, negotiated the settlement with Walmart alongside attorneys representing local governments.
“The opioid crisis has devastated far too many Hoosier families,” Rokita said in a prepared statement. “We continue working aggressively to hold accountable those companies whose actions have contributed to the opioid epidemic. Further, we are committed to bringing much needed funding to fight the drug crisis in Indiana.
