Bill > S07832

This bill establishes a psilocybin-assisted therapy pilot program in New York State's western region. The program will provide funding for up to 10,000 participants, including veterans, first responders, and those suffering from cluster headaches, to receive psilocybin-assisted therapy. The bill defines key terms such as "certified medical use," "facilitator," and "medical psilocybin," and outlines requirements for facilitators to complete a training course before providing therapy. The bill also authorizes the state's Department of Health to analyze and evaluate the program, develop research programs, and report on the medical use of psilocybin. The bill provides legal protections for patients, practitioners, and facilitators, and exempts certain information from public disclosure.
