AI Summary
This bill requires the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, in collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine and a military veterans hospital or medical center, to conduct a study on the efficacy of using alternative therapies, including MDMA, psilocybin, and ketamine, in the treatment of veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The bill mandates a clinical trial on the use of psilocybin for treatment-resistant PTSD in veterans and a review of the current literature on the safety and efficacy of these alternative therapies. The commission must submit quarterly progress reports and a final report with recommendations by December 1, 2024. The bill also includes provisions to protect the privacy of individuals involved in the clinical trial.
