If a 26 billion settlement agreement with major opioid distributors and Johnson & Johnson  goes through, Tennessee could see $613 million for abating the opioid crisis state-wide.

Marie Williams, Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services,  along with lead attorneys from the Tennessee Attorney General's Office, talk about the historic effort to reach a settlement and how these funds can make a life-changing difference for Tennesseans moving forward.
