LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Walmart reached agreements with all 50 states in a $3.1 billion opioid settlement.

Several attorneys general accused the retail giant of failing to regulate opioid prescriptions and contributing to the opioid epidemic.

Attorney General Daniel Cameron said Kentucky will get $53 million in the settlement.

Walmart will also have to comply with new requirements to prevent fraudulent prescriptions and flag suspicious ones.
