Bill > S03520

This bill amends New York's public health law to establish a new title related to the medical use of psilocybin. The key provisions include: defining terms like "psilocybin" and "facilitator"; legalizing the medical use of psilocybin under certain conditions; establishing a certification process for facilitators; allowing the Department of Health to conduct research and evaluations; providing protections for patients, practitioners, and facilitators; creating a psilocybin-assisted therapy grant program; setting up a naturally grown medical psilocybin pilot program; and establishing a psilocybin-assisted therapy advisory board. The bill also appropriates $5 million to the newly created psilocybin and MDMA assisted therapy grant program fund.
