Bill > SB90

This bill modifies state law to create a regulated framework for psilocybin use and research, primarily focused on veterans and victims of sex trafficking with specific mental health conditions. The legislation allows individuals 21 and older who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, substance use disorders, or require end-of-life care to use psilocybin under strict conditions. These conditions include having a bona fide physician-patient relationship, enrolling in a research study, informing the Department of Mental Health of their plans, using a qualified facilitator (such as a licensed physician, psychologist, or mental health therapist), having the psilocybin tested by a state-licensed laboratory, and limiting usage to 150 milligrams per twelve-month period. The bill establishes training requirements for facilitators, provides legal protections for participants and healthcare providers, mandates confidentiality of participant information, and requires the Department of Mental Health to conduct research on psilocybin's therapeutic efficacy, with quarterly and annual reports to be submitted to state leadership. The legislation aims to explore alternative treatment options for specific medical conditions while maintaining careful oversight and patient safety.
