Title: a. Director's Report - Stephanie Browning Browning said PHHS is currently working on budgeting and planning for the next six to eight months. The commission on the opioid settlement funds plans to meet with several board members to discuss best practices for spending the opioid settlement funds. PHHS held an opioid town hall meeting to discuss overdoses in Boone County. Naloxone was also distributed at the town hall meeting. Browning said that legislation is being worked through the general assembly that would void any laws or codes at the local or municipal level regarding tobacco or tobacco products. This would include local laws requiring that a person be 21 years old to purchase tobacco products. Szewczyk noted that throughout the country local Tobacco 21 legislation has been effective at limiting access by minors to tobacco products.
