The local government’s REGISTRATION CODE is contained in a letter mailed to the local government from the North Carolina Attorney General’s office. This letter is part of the formal notice required by the Settlements.

Each of the proposed Settlements has two key participation steps:

  1. First, each state decides whether to participate in the Settlements. North Carolina has joined both Settlements.
  2. Second, the subdivisions within each participating state must then decide whether to participate in the Settlements.
    Any subdivision that does not participate cannot directly share in any of the settlement funds, even if the subdivision’s state is settling and other participating subdivisions are sharing in settlement funds.

Signing on to the National Settlement means your county agrees to the terms of the settlement and as a result, will not sue the distributors McKesson, Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen, or J&J in the future.
