DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: (state briefly why legislative action is requested)
The Albany County Department of Health (ACDOH) requests authorization to accept funds and to amend its 2025 budget for the multistate JUUL Labs Inc. (JUUL) settlement for its role in fueling the youth vaping epidemic. New York State will receive a total of $112.7 million through this settlement and Albany County has been allotted $1,055,715. ACDOH will use the settlement funds, which will be paid in eight annual increments of $131,964, for evidence-based measures to combat underage vaping and e-cigarette addiction. Three of these payments totaling $395,892 will be received upfront in 2025 and the remaining five payments will be made through 2030.
