This model ordinance, developed collaboratively with Vital Strategies, is intended as a tool for Kentucky counties to establish a county opioid abatement advisory council to advise and make recommendations on the allocation and use of local opioid abatement funds. The comprehensive model is aligned with identified best practices, including [The Principles for the Use of Funds from the Opioid Settlements](https://opioidprinciples.jhsph.edu/), and can be customized based on local needs and established practices.
