WHEREAS the Settling Defendant has negotiated a proposed national
settlement agreement (“Proposed Settlement”) with the State Attorneys
General, and a Plaintiff Executive Committee-designated negotiating committee
that represents approximately 4,000 local governments that have brought
lawsuits similar to Oakland County’s lawsuit; and
WHEREAS the Proposed Settlement contains significant equitable and
monetary relief, including:
1. An agreement to pay up to $1.2 billion over the next 11 years by the
Settling Defendant. The bulk of which will be dedicated to funding
abatement and prevention strategies associated with the opioids public
nuisance; and
2. An agreement by the Settling Defendant to abide by strict limitations on
its sale and distribution of opioids, including a ban on rewarding or
disciplining employees based on volume of opioid sales; and an
agreement to implement changes in how the Settling Defendant handles
opioids, including requirements addressing its compliance structure,
pharmacist judgment, and reporting on red-flag processes, as well as
blocked and potentially problematic prescribers; and
WHEREAS Oakland County previously executed Participation Agreements for
the Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd., Allergan Finance, LLC, CVS Health
Corp. and CVS Pharmacy, Inc., Walmart, Inc., Walgreens, Distributor, and
Janssen Settlements, which confer valuable benefits; and
WHEREAS the Proposed Settlement contains a “default” allocation method
where settlement funds that are allocated to a particular state to resolve the
claims asserted by state and local governments within that state are allocated
as follows:
• 15% of settlement proceeds paid under the Proposed Settlements are
allocable to the State; and
• 15% of the settlement proceeds are allocable to local governments; and
• 70% of the settlement proceeds are allocable to an opioid abatement
fund; and
WHEREAS the Proposed Settlement enables the state and local governments
within a State to negotiate alternative allocation methods to the “default”
allocation method referenced above; and
WHEREAS Oakland County desires to enter into an alternative allocation
method which allocates settlement funds on a 50/50 basis to:
1. Participating Local Governments who have elected to participate in the
Proposed Settlement; and
2. the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS Oakland County previously executed the Michigan State-
Subdivision Agreements for (1) Allocation of Distributor Settlement Agreement
and Janssen Settlement Agreement, which allocated funds attributed to the
State of Michigan in a streamlined and equitable manner; and (2) Allocation of
