(Hartford, CT) — Attorney General William Tong today announced a $300 Million multistate settlement with Indivior plc and Indivior Inc. to settle allegations that Indivior falsely and aggressively marketed and otherwise promoted the drug Suboxone, resulting in improper expenditures of state Medicaid funds.

“Indivior knowingly promoted the sale of suboxone for unsafe and unnecessary purposes, reaping undue profits from states and the federal government while endangering the lives of countless individuals. This agreement will return $7.9 million back to Connecticut"s Medicaid program, as well as $200,000 for the Department of Social Services’ state-funded programs. This settlement sends a strong message that states across the nation are united in taking aggressive action against those who fraudulently and callously contributed to the opioid epidemic,"said Attorney General William Tong.

“This national settlement, bringing over $8 million to Connecticut, is another reminder that companies and providers that take advantage of public health programs and put enrollees at risk will be met with strong enforcement action. I join Attorney General Tong and Chief State’s Attorney Colangelo in welcoming this important result for program integrity, enrollees and taxpayers,” said Deidre S. Gifford, Department of Social Services Commissioner and Acting Department of Public Health Commissioner.

Suboxone is a drug product approved for use by recovering opioid addicts to avoid or reduce withdrawal symptoms while they undergo treatment. Suboxone and its active ingredient, buprenorphine, are powerful and addictive opioids. The settlement resolves allegations that, from 2010 through 2015, Indivior, directly or through its subsidiaries:

The civil settlement resolves the claims against Indivior brought in six qui tam lawsuits pending in federal courts in the Western District of Virginia and the District of New Jersey.

SEC v. Gianluca Di Nardo, Corralero Holdings, Inc., Oscar Ronzoni, Paolo Busardo, Tatus Corp., and A-Round Investment SA (originally filed as SEC v. One or More Purchasers of Call Options for the Common Stock of DRS Technologies, Inc. and American Power Conversion Corp.)

Connecticut’s ban on “captive audience” meetings, which unions say are used to thwart organizing, is unconstitutional and a preemption of federal labor law, a coalition led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce claimed in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Hartford.

The lawsuit, joined by the Connecticut Business and Industry Association and trade groups representing retailers and others, says the ban violates free-speech and equal-protection rights under the Constitution by “chilling and prohibiting employer speech” with their workers.

Filed a week before the election, the lawsuit amplifies Republican talking points that Connecticut has been hostile to business, contributing to lackluster economic growth. Labor victories and business defeats have come in fights over minimum-wage increases and paid family and medical leave.

The defendants in the lawsuit are Commissioner Danté Bartolomeo of the state Department of Labor, the department itself, and Attorney General William Tong.

If not geared to the election, the lawsuit underlines a longstanding position of the CBIA that the General Assembly does not adequately consider the economic impact of legislation, including the captive audience law, DiPentima acknowledged.

The plaintiff’s counsel in Chamber of Commerce of the U.S. v. Brown was Morgan Lewis and Bockius of Washington D.C., the same firm behind the Connecticut lawsuit, DiPentima said.

The law and federal lawsuit are elements of an unending struggle between labor and business dating to the passage in 1935 of the Wagner Act, which established the right of most workers to join unions, compelled employers to negotiate and established the federal government as the arbiter of labor relations.

Over the veto of President Harry S Truman, a Republican congressional majority passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947, narrowing the definition of unfair labor practices and empowering businesses to argue against unionization so long as “such expression contains no threat of reprisal or force or promise of benefit.”

But the Biden administration’s new NLRB’s general counsel, Jennifer Abruzzo, issued guidancein April that mandatory meetings violate federal law. Her memo was quickly challenged in a federal lawsuit filed in Texas.

In 2018, Attorney General George Jepsen, a Democrat who once worked for a union, advised the General Assembly that the state has police powers to regulate worker safety and provide a minimum wage but warned that a captive audience bill filed that year likely would be deemed by a court as preempted by the NLRA.

His successor Tong, also a Democrat, did not disavow Jepsen’s opinion but instead concluded a case could be made to defend a revised version proposed in 2019, only to falter in the face of a GOP filibuster, and the one passed in 2022.

In written public hearing testimony, Tong said the 2022 legislation was written to stand outside the reach of the NLRA preemption and within the “generally applicable, minimum standards legislation that the Supreme Court has concluded states retain the power to enact.”

Tong conceded in a formal opinion issued regarding the 2019 bill, which he says was substantively similar to the one passed in 2022, that such a law would be “defensible” against a preemption challenge, not bulletproof.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain must approve the deal, which protects the Sacklers from civil lawsuits. Purdue requested a March 9 hearing for Drain to review the agreement.

Opioid overdose deaths soared to a record during the COVID-19 pandemic, including from the powerful synthetic painkiller fentanyl, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said.

Purdue filed for bankruptcy in 2019 in the face of thousands of lawsuits accusing it and members of the Sackler family of fueling the opioid epidemic through deceptive marketing of its highly addictive pain medicine.

Tong and the mediator urged Drain to allow victims of the opioid epidemic to address the court when the judge considers approving the settlement and to order the Sackler family members to attend.

October 2022 — New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin filed a lawsuit against ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, and the American Petroleum Institute for the damage that their climate deception is causing to communities across the state.

September, 2020 — Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings filed a lawsuit against 31 fossil fuel companies “to hold them accountable for decades of deception about the role their products play in causing climate change, the harm that is causing in Delaware, and for the mounting costs of surviving those harms.”

September 2020 — The City of Charleston is suing 24 fossil fuel companies to hold them accountable for lying about climate change harms they knowingly caused — and to make them pay a fair share of the damage. Charleston’s was the first such lawsuit filed in the American South.

September 2020 — Hoboken, the coastal “Mile Square City,” is the first municipality to file a climate liability lawsuit in New Jersey. The city’s lawsuit argues that ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and the American Petroleum Institute’s climate deception violates the state’s consumer fraud statute and provides grounds for common law claims of public and private nuisance, trespass and negligence.
