Fund for a Resilient Nevada

The Fund for a Resilient Nevada was established in Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 433.712 through 433.744 and is specific to the state's portion of opioid litigation recoveries. It is administered by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Director's Office, as identified in NRS 433.732. Pursuant to NRS 433.732, the Fund was created in the State Treasury. Unless otherwise required by the applicable judgment or settlement, the Attorney General shall, after deducting any fees and costs imposed pursuant to an applicable contingent fee contract as described in NRS 228.111, deposit in the Fund all money received by this State pursuant to any judgment received or settlement entered into by the State of Nevada as a result of litigation concerning the manufacture, distribution, sale or marketing of opioids conducted in accordance with the declaration of findings issued by the Governor and the Attorney General. Pursuant to NRS 433.734, one of the DHHS's responsibilities is the development of the statewide needs assessment and a statewide plan to identify priorities related to addressing opioid-related risk, harms and impacts using a data-driven and evidence-based approach.

On or before January 31 of each year, the Department shall transmit a report concerning all findings and recommendations and money expended pursuant to NRS 433.734 to 433.740, inclusive, to:

  (a) The Governor; 
  (b) The Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau for transmittal to:
    (1) In odd-numbered years, the next regular session of the Legislature; and 
    (2)

 In even-numbered years, the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Health and Human Services and the Interim Finance Committee;
  (c) The Commission;
  (d) Each regional behavioral health policy board created by NRS 433.429;
  (e) The Office of the Attorney General; and 
  (f) Any other committees or commissions the Director of the Department deems appropriate.
