Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is holding a press conference to announce an agreement between the state and opioid distributors.

According to a release from Yost's office, the agreement "will provide relief for Ohio communities fighting the opioid crisis."

The “OneOhio” settlement agreement has been a statewide effort to resolve litigation between Cardinal Health, McKesson and AmerisourceBergen. The three distributors and Johnson & Johnson agreed to a $26 billion nationwide settlement for their roles in the opioid epidemic in July.

Under the settlement, Cardinal Health, McKesson and AmerisourceBergen would fund roughly $809 million in treatment and prevention programs across Ohio.

Of those funds, 55% would directly go toward a foundation that benefits Ohio communities. An additional 30% would directly fund local community recovery programs, while 15% would go toward the state of Ohio for legal representation purposes.
