Attorney General Kris Mayes says she's prepared to go to court to fight lawmakers' plans to seize $75 million .
Lawmakers want to use the money to fix the state's budget deficit.
Mayes said the $1.14 billion settlement of the multi-year lawsuit with manufacturers and pharmacies has specific requirements on how those dollars can be spent.
Lawmakers are trying to balance the state's $17.2 billion budget.
They need to find $729 million by June 30 .
The money helps purchase and distribute naloxone, a drug that can treat narcotic overdoses in an emergency situation.
