Background:  The City of Portsmouth was one of several Virginia localities to file suit against entities engaged in the manufacture, marketing, promotion, distribution, and dispensing of opioids.  In 2021 the Commonwealth of Virginia reached a global settlement of claims against many of the opioid entities on behalf of itself and its participating localities, including Portsmouth. The settlement provided for payment of approximately $608,000,000 to the Commonwealth (the “Settlement Funds”) over an 18-year period.  In order to participate in the Commonwealth’s settlement and receive distributions of a portion of the Settlement Funds, Portsmouth released its claims and entered into a Virginia Opioid Abatement Fund and Settlement Allocation Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth and other localities (the “Settlement MOU”).  City Council approved the Settlement MOU by Resolution R-21-24 adopted on August 10, 2021.
