This bill proposes amendments to current statutes regarding controlled substances in Arizona, specifically focusing on crystalline polymorph psilocybin. Under the new provisions, any pharmaceutical composition of crystalline polymorph psilocybin that is 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 will be classified as a controlled substance that can be prescribed in Arizona. The bill also expresses the legislature's intent for patients to have rapid access to this treatment if it receives the necessary approvals.

Additionally, the bill establishes conditions for its enactment, stipulating that the provisions will not take effect unless crystalline polymorph psilocybin is approved as a prescription medication by January 1, 2031, and is 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, including the addition of a new section to the Arizona Revised Statutes.
