Bill Summary
AN ACT Amending title 23, chapter 6, article 4, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 23-973; amending section 36-2511, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended by laws 2021, chapter 61, section 12; amending section 36-2511, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended by Laws 2025, chapter 231, section 1; amending title 36, chapter 27, article 2, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 36-2517.03; appropriating monies; relating to controlled substances.
AI Summary
This bill, titled "Controlled substances; approval; use; research," aims to expand workers' compensation coverage for firefighters and certified peace officers diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by potentially including a treatment protocol involving Midomafetamine, a controlled substance that must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and rescheduled by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The bill also appropriates $10 million for clinical trials, research, and training related to Midomafetamine for PTSD treatment, specifically targeting first responders and veterans. Importantly, the provisions related to Midomafetamine coverage and its inclusion as a controlled substance are contingent on FDA approval and DEA rescheduling by specific dates, with the Industrial Commission of Arizona tasked with establishing reimbursement guidelines once these conditions are met.
