Colorado Opioid Abatement Council

The Colorado Abatement Council consists of representatives appointed by the State and Participating Local Governments and will ensure the distribution of Opioid Funds complies with the terms of the Colorado Opioid MOU. They will do this by developing processes and procedures for holding regions accountable to their stated uses of those funds. In addition to the administrative duties of the Abatement Council, they will also be able to “facilitate collaboration between the State, Participating Local Governments, Regional Councils, and other stakeholders for the purposes of sharing data, outcomes, strategies, and other relevant information related to abating the opioid crisis in Colorado [C(4)d Pg.6].”
