The opioid abatement fund is the designated repository of funds that are either dedicated to opioid abatement or remediation or are otherwise directed to abatement or remediation and that are received by the state pursuant to a judgment on opioid-related claims, a recovery in bankruptcy on opioid-related claims, or a settlement of opioid-related claims. This section does not prevent the opioid abatement fund from also receiving funds from other sources if the funds will be dedicated to abatement.Added by 2021 Tenn. Acts, ch. 491,s 2, eff. 5/24/2021.
