In response to Senate Bill 1827, passed by the 87th Legislature, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts assists the Texas Opioid Abatement Fund Council (OAFC) in addressing the opioid crisis across the state of Texas, as well as publishing statewide opioid settlement agreement records to the public.
The OAFC was formed to ensure that money recovered through the statewide opioid settlement agreements is allocated fairly and spent to put an end to the opioid crisis in Texas.
The Council is administratively attached to the Texas Comptroller’s office, which provides the staff and facilities as necessary to assist the Council in performing its duties.
