Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and Senator Julie Daniels amended Title 74 which includes the duties and responsibilities of the Attorney General. Sen. Daniels said it's their opinion that when the AG sues on behalf of the people of Oklahoma and wins the lawsuit or settles out, that money must be paid back to the State, specifically put into the State Treasury so the legislative branch can fulfill its duties.
Sen. Daniels said the settlement agreement with Purdue Pharma regarding the opioid crisis was troubling because money was never received into the state treasury, seemingly because the attorney general believed it was not necessary because "they negotiated the settlement and the judge signed off on it".
Now the amended Title 74 states that if the attorney general settles, compromises, or disposes of any action in court on behalf of the people, those dollars must be spent in the State Treasury immediately.
