By The Associated Press

The yearslong effort by state and local govern- ments in the U.S. to force the pharmaceutical industry to help pay to fix a nationwide opioid addiction and overdose crisis took a major step for- ward Tuesday when lawyers for local governments announced they were on the verge of a $26 billion settlement with the nation’s three biggest drug distribution companies and the drugmaker Johnson & Johnson. Under the deal, Johnson & Johnson would not produce any opioids for at least a decade. And AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McK- esson share prescribing information under a new system intended to stop the avalanches of pills that arrived in some regions about a decade ago. Lawyers for local governments said full details could be shared within days.
