This bill proposes significant updates to current Arizona statutes by establishing a regulatory framework for psychedelic-assisted therapy centers, specifically focusing on the use of psilocybin. It introduces new definitions and terms, such as "psilocybin services," "psychedelic-assisted therapy center," and "Arizona psilocybin advisory board," which will guide the implementation and oversight of these services. The bill mandates the creation of a psilocybin control and regulation fund to support clinical trials and outlines the responsibilities and composition of the advisory board, which will include members from various sectors, including health care and law enforcement.

Additionally, the bill sets forth licensing requirements for psychedelic-assisted therapy centers, including the need for a medical director and compliance with public health standards. It specifies training requirements for health professionals involved in psilocybin services and establishes protocols for patient consumption of psilocybin products. The legislation also includes provisions for the collection of fees and penalties, ensuring that the regulatory framework is financially sustainable. Overall, if enacted, this bill would create a structured approach to the administration and oversight of psilocybin therapy in Arizona, while repealing outdated language related to the regulation of controlled substances.
