The Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund holds 50% of New Jersey’s opioid settlement funds.[1]
With limited exceptions,[2] this share must be spent on the approved uses described in of New Jersey’s MOA,[3] which is identical to the national settlement agreements’ Exhibit E, (“Approved Uses”) and includes prevention, harm reduction, treatment, recovery, and other strategies.[4] State law also includes a non-exhaustive list of “evidence-based or evidence-informed practices or strategies” that largely derive from the national settlement agreements’ Exhibit E, .[5] Reimbursement uses of opioid settlement funds are specifically prohibited statewide.[6]
New Jersey Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund Advisory Council guides, Department of Human Services decides. The (DHS) ultimately decides specific expenditures for this share after consulting its .[7] In allocating funds, DHS must “consider equitable access for underserviced communities Statewide.”[8]
DHS retains the power to direct settlement monies to “other State departments.”[9] In February 2024, the Governor announced DHS’s decision to direct $95 million to programs that will be administered by the Departments of Human Services, Health, and Children and Families over the next two to three years.[10]
Yes, supplantation is prohibited. New Jersey state law explicitly prohibits supplantation uses of state and local opioid settlement funds.[11] This means that New Jersey’s opioid settlement funds must be spent in ways that supplement — rather than replace (or “supplant”) — existing resources.
Yes (public reporting required). View the state’s and subdivision’s annual spending reports .[12] New Jersey law requires DHS to publicly report “details of allocations made” using funds appropriated from the Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund.[13]

In March 2024, the Attorney General’s office established the Office of Alternative and Community Responses (OACR) to serve as the Department of Law and Public Safety’s (DLPS) lead entity “with respect to recovery and treatment services for substance use disorders.”[14] The OACR’s Opioid Prevention and Response Bureau (OPRB) will serve as DLPS’s point of contact “for discussions involving the use of settlement funds.”[15]

Here are the entities that ultimately decide how each of New Jersey’s opioid settlement shares are spent:
50% state share:
50% local share: local officials for counties, cities, townships, and boroughs
This Community Guide will describe how New Jersey is spending its opioid settlements and whether New Jersey is working to ensure community access to opioid settlement funds. Last revised September 1, 2024.
Ultimate Decisionmaker
Local officials for counties, cities, townships, and boroughs
Decision-making Process
The New Jersey Department of Human Services decides after consulting the .
Localities decide autonomously, but counties must establish and consult their County Advisory Councils.
50% state share: Yes (required). State law requires the to “solicit feedback … from stakeholders, local providers, advocates, individuals with lived experience with opioid use disorders, including people who have or are in recovery from an opioid use disorder and family members of people with an opioid use disorder, the academic community, individuals with expertise in areas related to substance use disorders, community groups, and members of the public, regarding the services needed to prevent and treat substance use disorders across the State.”[1] Here are examples of ways the state government has sought feedback on uses for its share:
Public portal. The state maintains a public portal for submission of public input, which was open through October 2022. This webpage contains a summary of findings and testimony from that process [2] The state has indicated its intent to periodically reopen the portal “when necessary.”[3] In the meantime, you can email a letter or statement to the Opioid Recovery and Remediation Advisory Council at [email protected].[4]
Public meetings. The Advisory Council held a series of public meetings in Summer 2023 in Camden, Essex and Mercer counties, as well as virtually. Community members were able to provide input at these meetings and videos of the virtual sessions are available here.[5]
Council meetings. The Advisory Council is only required to meet “at such frequencies as … required by the Governor as well as at the call of the [Advisory Council’s] chairperson.”[6] The state’s opioid settlements website does not link to its meetings calendar;[7] email the Advisory Council at [email protected].[8]
50% local share: Generally, yes. Though local governments are not required to seek public input as to opioid settlement spending specifically, New Jersey’s Open Public Meetings Act requires municipal governing bodies to dedicate a portion of each of their meetings for public comments.[9] Take advantage of this requirement by showing up to meetings of your city council, board of county commissioners, or local health department. Localities may also independently create opportunities for public input on opioid settlement spending. See, e.g., Somerset County’s Opioid Settlement Survey.
Yes. Visit this website to learn more about current funding opportunities from the state’s 50% share.[10] Local governments may create grant programs to distribute their share of funds. The existence, parameters, and processes for local settlement grant programs will vary by locality, so stay alert for new opportunities. Visit the Opioid Settlement Community Grants Portal (OpioidSettlementTracker.com and Legal Action Center) for the most up-to-date information on settlement grant opportunities for community organizations.
For updates on the state share, visit the state’s opioid settlements website, including its News page.
For updates on the local share, see the state’s opioid settlements website's Reports page, which links to subdivisions’ annual reports and examples of strategic plans. To find other updates on the local share, a good starting point is to check the websites for your board of county commissioners, city/town council, or local health department. Alcohol and Drug Use Directors for each county can also be found here.
Only “public bod[ies]” that are “organized by law” and “collectively empowered as a multi-member voting body to spend public funds or affect persons' rights” are formally subject to the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act (i.e., “The Sunshine Law”).[11] This means that the Opioid Recovery and Remediation Advisory Council and local advisory bodies created merely to advise on opioid settlement spend may not automatically come within its purview.[12]

Local governments decide autonomously. Decisionmakers for the counties, cities, townships, and boroughs will ultimately decide for themselves how to spend their monies on approved uses.[8] Each county is required by state law and New Jersey’s MOA to establish a “County Advisory Council” to provide input, advice, and recommendations on the use of its funds for approved purposes,[9] and municipalities may request input, advice, and recommendations from their County Advisory Councils on uses of their funds as well.[10]
According to a state FAQ, “[c]ounty departments, divisions, or agencies that include the County Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Director will serve as the lead agenc[ies] responsible for county abatement funds and reporting responsibilities.”[11]
The Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund Advisory Council may, but is not required to, recommend local share expenditures and to coordinate with County Advisory Councils “as the [Advisory Council] chairperson deems appropriate."[12]
Yes, supplantation is prohibited. New Jersey state law explicitly prohibits supplantation uses of state and local opioid settlement funds.[13] This means that New Jersey’s opioid settlement funds must be spent in ways that supplement — rather than replace (or “supplant”) — existing resources.
Yes (public reporting required). View the state’s and subdivision’s annual spending reports here. New Jersey’s MOA requires local governments to annually report its expenditures, including funding recipients, amount disbursed on approved purposes, and spending on administrative expenses. These reports are provided to the state and must be made public as well.[14]

Memorandum of Agreement Between the State of New Jersey and Local Governments on Opioid Litigation Recoveries (MOA) C.2 provides that this share will be distributed according to the percentages in Exhibit B of New Jersey’s agreement, but other sections of the MOA better clarify municipalities’ ability to receive monies directly and optionally transfer their share to their containing counties.
