The resolution amends and reenacts Act 2023-383, which established the Oversight Commission on Alabama Opioid Settlement Funds. This commission, originally composed of 16 members, is tasked with developing a statewide plan for the investment and utilization of opioid settlement funds, as well as reviewing expenditures to ensure they effectively address the opioid crisis in Alabama. The resolution emphasizes the importance of evidence-based programs and services for the treatment and prevention of opioid use and addiction, highlighting the need for a collaborative approach involving the Legislature, Executive Branch, experts, and stakeholders.

The amended resolution expands the commission's membership to include various state officials and experts in opioid treatment, ensuring a diverse representation that reflects Alabama's demographics. The commission will be chaired by the Chair of the House Ways and Means-General Fund Committee and will meet at least semiannually to review investment plans. It is authorized to spend up to $5,000 annually and will remain in existence until all opioid settlement funds have been appropriated and expended. The resolution also outlines the procedures for appointments, meeting notifications, and compensation for legislative members.
