OPIOID SETTLEMENT ACCOUNTABILITY

Every settlement dollar needs guardrails.

The model framework asks states to ring-fence opioid litigation proceeds, restrict spending to approved public-health uses, create oversight, and report expenditures publicly.

DEFLECTION PROGRAM COVERAGE

How states route people to care before the justice system

Coryn’s recommended framing: adopt the most expansive model-law approach across available interventions rather than limiting states to a narrow pathway.

INVOLUNTARY COMMITMENT BY STATE

Where severe SUD can trigger civil commitment

Thirty-four states and D.C. allow civil commitment based on primary SUD diagnosis. The priority gap list includes states and territories where severe SUD is still treated too narrowly.
