&lt;h2 id="a-liana-banyan-im-just-a-bill-bounty-poster"&gt;A Liana Banyan &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m Just a Bill&amp;rdquo; Bounty Poster&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-is-this-bill"&gt;What is this bill?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Federal protection legislation in the 119th Congress for the ~$50B in opioid-settlement funds flowing to state and local governments. Addresses the documented diversion of opioid-settlement funds to general-revenue purposes rather than substance-use-disorder treatment and recovery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-does-it-actually-do"&gt;What does it actually do?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Federal accountability framework for state opioid-settlement spending&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Treatment-and-recovery-services minimum allocation requirements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Transparency reporting requirements for state opioid funds&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Federal grant matching for jurisdictions exceeding minimum allocation thresholds&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Indigenous-community-impact provisions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="how-does-this-affect-cooperative-class-families"&gt;How does this affect cooperative-class families?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Composes with &lt;strong&gt;#5 The Family Table&lt;/strong&gt; (recovery and care intersection), &lt;strong&gt;#7 MSA&lt;/strong&gt; (Substitution-routing for participating recovery providers), and &lt;strong&gt;#8 Defense Klaus&lt;/strong&gt; (overlap with survivor-class infrastructure when SUD intersects domestic violence). Composes with &lt;a href="../rural-mental-health/"&gt;Rural Mental Health Access Act&lt;/a&gt; Bounty Poster.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
