Throughout the 2024 state legislative sessions, the Center for Addiction and Public Policy tracked legislation addressing substance use disorder and the overdose epidemic. The state round-up summarizes significant legislation related to addiction policy that passed in 2024. This overview includes legislation on opioid litigation expenditures, medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD), Opioid Treatment Programs, naloxone, Syringe Service Programs, fentanyl test strips, MOUD in carceral settings, and enhanced sentencing.

The 2024 legislative sessions have adjourned in 36 states. For states still in session, significant pending legislation is provided.

Please note that this list is not exhaustive of all addiction-related legislation but is a select list of items tracked by the O’Neill Institute.

* Please note that HB161 and HB455 did not become law after the legislature failed to override the governor’s veto.
