This bill proposes to amend current Arizona statutes regarding controlled substances by adding provisions related to crystalline polymorph psilocybin. Specifically, it will insert language declaring that any pharmaceutical composition of crystalline polymorph psilocybin approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and rescheduled by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to a schedule other than Schedule I of the federal Controlled Substances Act is considered a controlled substance that may be prescribed in Arizona. Additionally, the bill expresses the legislature's intent for patients to have rapid access to this treatment option if it receives the necessary approvals.

Furthermore, the bill establishes conditions for its enactment, stipulating that it will not take effect unless crystalline polymorph psilocybin is newly approved as a prescription medication by January 1, 2031, and controlled under a federal interim final rule. The Executive Director of the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy is tasked with notifying the Arizona Legislative Council by February 1, 2031, regarding whether these conditions have been met. The bill also makes conforming changes to existing statutes, specifically updating sections 36-2511 and 36-2517 to include the new section 36-2517.02.
