South Dakota creates a new state fund to collect money from opioid-related lawsuits, settlements, and donations, plus any interest earned on that money. The fund can only be used to pay for programs that address opioid abuse and addiction treatment, with spending decisions made through the state's normal budget approval process.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
