Fifty-five attorneys general around the country have now signed on to a $7.4 billion settlement with drugmaker Purdue Pharma and its owners, the Sackler family, over the opioid crisis, officials said.

Georgia will join other states and U.S. territories in a settlement that extracts $7.4 billion from Purdue Pharma and its owners, the Sackler family, as recompense for their role in the opioid crisis...

The plan will also end the Sacklers’ control of the company and their ability to sell opioids, if it’s approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
