Maryland Lt. Governor Aruna Miller and Maryland’s Office of Overdose Response have launched a new public dashboard allowing Maryland residents to track how opioid settlement funds are being received, distributed, and spent across the state.
The interactive dashboard provides details on settlement money received from prescription opioid manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies, as well as how those funds are being allocated to state and local governments for overdose prevention and substance use disorder programs.
According to state officials, Maryland expects to receive more than $747 million over the next 15 years through finalized opioid settlements. As of fiscal year 2025, approximately $245.8 million has already been received, with nearly $170 million either distributed to or available for counties, cities, and towns statewide. Officials said the dashboard is intended to improve transparency and give the public access to information about how local governments plan to use the funds in their communities.
The dashboard was created by Maryland’s Office of Overdose Response and the Maryland Department of Health following legislation passed during the 2025 General Assembly session. State leaders said the funds can only be used to address harms caused by the opioid crisis and cannot replace existing program funding. Officials also said the dashboard will be updated annually following the review of local expenditure reports submitted each year.
