By now, you should have received the enclosed notice from the noticing agent relating to the opioid settlements. In order for the settlement sign -on process to work efficiently, it is imperative that you: First, go to the national settlement web Second, register your county or city. and If you have already registered, I apologize for the interruption. If you have not registered, registering will only take a minute and does not commit your subdivision to signing on to the settlements. Registration requires knowing who will sign -on to the settlement for your subdivision, an e-mail address for the sign -on form to be electronically sent, and you to utilize the registration code in the notice. So far, only 44 subdivisions of 188 that received the notice have registered. I have attached to this letter a list of registration codes for every city and county in Minnesota that received the notice to make registration even easier. If you don't register, you will not get the sign -on form electronically. We urge you to register at your earliest convenience. If you have questions for the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, please send an e-mail to opioidskag.state.mn.us or visit www.ag.state.mn.us/opioids/.
