Iowa lawmakers propose $42 million from opioid funds to fight addiction, but negotiations have stalled for three years.
Iowa lawmakers are pushing to allocate $42 million from the state's Opioid Settlement Fund to combat the opioid crisis, with $12 million going to a Fort Dodge addiction recovery center and $30 million to statewide efforts.
However, negotiations have been stalled for three years, with the state holding nearly $57 million in unspent funds.
Iowa is one of nine states without published recommendations for opioid settlement spending.
The state is expected to receive about $325 million through 2039, with most funds needing to be used for addiction treatment and prevention.
