Section 11-58-10. (A) This act may be cited as the 'South Carolina Opioid Recovery Act'.
(B) The purpose of this act is to ratify and implement the necessary terms of certain opioid-related settlements entered into by the State of South Carolina and its participating political subdivisions by:

(F) The State Inspector General may investigate and address allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, misconduct, violations of state or federal law, and wrongdoing relating to the South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund. If any such allegations come to the attention of the board or its staff, immediate notice of the relevant facts must be transmitted to the State Inspector General.
Section 11-58-40. (A) The State Treasurer shall establish the Discretionary Subfund within the South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund.
(B) The South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund Board may authorize payments from the Discretionary Subfund to requesting entities, if all of the following requirements are met: (1) the request complies with all application requirements set out by the board;
(2) the request is for an approved abatement strategy;
(3) sufficient funds to pay the request are in the Discretionary Subfund; and
(4) the request is, in the judgment and discretion of the board, an appropriate, reasonable, and merited use of funds to help address issues caused by opioids.

The Honorable Charles F. Reid
Clerk of the House of Representatives
Room 213, Blatt Building
Columbia, SC 29211
Dear Charles:
Please accept this letter as my resignation from the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives effective as of 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 12, 2022. I submit this resignation with great thoughtfulness and appreciation as I look back upon my service in this honorable position.
As you are aware, I am not seeking re-election to the House of Representatives. Consequently, I believe that it is in the best interest of both our State and this Body that we begin an orderly transition of leadership and responsibilities. Through the years, I have been privileged to serve in many roles in the South Carolina House: as a member of the Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee, as a member of the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, as a member of the Ways & Means Committee, as Speaker Pro Tempore, as Acting Speaker and ultimately as Speaker. It has been both the honor and privilege of my lifetime to serve this Body for 24 years.
I leave the office of Speaker knowing that this institution, its membership, and its staff are in good hands. It is time for new leadership. May God bless all of those who serve the House and may God bless South Carolina.
Sincerely,
James H. Lucas
Speaker of the House
