The Reno City Council will talk about suing opioid manufacturers at its regular meeting Wednesday.
Nevada ranks in the top 10 in opioid deaths in the country.
The problem is becoming so acute, Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve has said she wants to consider litigation against drug manufacturers.
The council will only hear a presentation about potential legal avenues Wednesday and will not take a vote.
The Nevada Attorney General’s office earlier this year said it was joining several other states who are looking into possible litigation against drug manufacturers.
