The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) and the Opioid Abatement Fund Council (OAFC) work with Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company (TTSTC) to distribute opioid settlement proceeds from the Opioid Abatement Trust Fund to counties, municipalities and hospital districts. These proceeds may be used only for the remediation of opioid-related harms.
Texas Government Code Section 403.506(c)(1) requires the allocation of 15 percent of the total amount of money received from statewide opioid settlement agreements to counties and municipalities.
Please visit the Political Subdivision Disbursements webpage to learn more and access a dashboard of disbursed funds.
Texas Government Code Section 403.508(a)(2) requires the allocation of a portion of funds received from statewide settlement agreements to hospital districts. Rule 34 Texas Administrative Code 16.222 establishes administrative, transparency, oversight and accountability provisions that govern the distribution of settlement funds by the OAFC to hospital districts and the receipt and use of those funds by hospital districts.
