In August 2021, the State of Arizona and all its 90 cities and town and 15 counties signed on to a framework called the One Arizona Distribution of Opioid Settlement Funds Agreement ("One Arizona Agreement") to distribute funds across Arizona from national opioid settlements. On February 25, 2022, manufacturer Johnson and Johnson and the "big three" distributors McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, and Cardinal Health finalized a $26 billion opioid settlement agreement to resolve their liabilities in over 3,000 opioid crises-related suits nationwide.

The proposed settlements require that Johnson and Johnson and the distributors pay $26 billion over 18 years, with approximately $22.7 billion available to state and local governments (counties, cities, and towns) to address the opioid epidemic.

As part of the $26 billion national settlement agreement, Arizona and its political subdivisions will receive $542 million over 18 years. City of Kingman's Local Government share in the settlement is estimated to be $1.1 million over 18 years. Additional settlement funds will be available as litigations are resolved. City of Kingman Finance Department will serve as the lead agency for City funds. The allotment of opioid settlement funds allows local public health departments, including City of Kingman, an opportunity to invest the financial resources available in evidence-based strategies and promising practices to end the opioid crisis and mitigate future harms, especially among communities disproportionately affected.
