Opioid settlements limit government lawsuits

Effective immediately, the law covers statewide opioid settlements the New York Attorney General entered into on or after June 1, 2021. These settlements resolve claims about making, promoting, dispensing, selling, overusing, or distributing opioid products. The Attorney General must keep agreements and amendments available for public inspection and copying under state public-records law. Government entities cannot assert claims released in these settlements, signed by the Department of Law and the released party. Government actions filed after June 30, 2019, automatically end as to those released claims once the settlement releases them.
