SB1570 was a bill designed to regulate the use of psilocybin for therapeutic purposes in Arizona by establishing a framework for licensing psychedelic-assisted therapy centers and creating the Arizona Psilocybin Advisory Board. The bill outlined the board's composition, duties, and the training requirements for health professionals involved. It also included the creation of the Psilocybin Control and Regulation Fund for managing fees and penalties. Despite passing through the Senate and House with significant support, the bill was vetoed by the Governor due to concerns about the premature clinical expansion of psilocybin treatments and financial implications not addressed in the budget.

The bill's legislative process included passing with votes of 24-4-2 and 42-16-2 on February 29, 2024, and June 14, 2024, respectively, before being vetoed on June 18, 2024. The document summarizing the bill was prepared by Senate Research on June 21, 2024. The bill would have set regulations for the operation of therapy centers, including location restrictions and employee age requirements, while ensuring compliance with federal laws. However, the Governor's veto halted the bill's progress due to concerns about evidence and costs.
