💵 Opioid board to recommend Hochul declare public health emergency

A report from the Opioid Settlement Fund Advisory Board with recommendations on how the state should spend $46.4 million to combat addiction and support recovery is due Friday.

The board is expected to meet that deadline and broadly agreed on how much of that money should go to different buckets of spending in their final meeting Monday before the report’s due date.

But the report will also include a different recommendation: a letter from Gov. Kathy Hochul declaring a public health emergency over opioid addiction and deaths.
