The state budget transferred $115 million from an opioid lawsuit settlement to Arizona's prisons. Mayes argued this allocation was improper.PHOENIX — A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has ruled the state may move forward with plans to spend opioid settlement funds on next year’s prisons budget.

On Monday, Judge John Hannah dissolved a temporary order issued by the courts last week preventing the state from re-routing the funds. Hannah wrote in his order although he agrees with some of the policy arguments outlined by Mayes, he does not believe Mayes has the legal authority to halt the Legislature’s spending. Hannah added there is no evidence the Legislature and governor plan to spend the settlement funds improperly.
