ARIZONA SENATE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVES BILL TO LEGALIZE PSILOCYBIN
SERVICE CENTERS

An Arizona Senate committee has unanimously approved a bipartisan bill that
would legalize psilocybin service centers where people could receive the
psychedelic in a medically supervised setting.

Shortly after a coalition of Republican senators, first responders and military
veterans held a press conference to raise attention to the benefits of
psychedelic medicines, the Senate Health and Human Services Committee convened
for a hearing where members discussed the psilocybin legislation, which is
sponsored by the chairman, Sen. T. J. Shope (R), and voted to pass it 7-0.

The measure would allow the Department of Human Services (DHS) to license
psilocybin-assisted therapy centers in the state, where trained facilitators
could administer the psychedelic.

The senator’s bill would significantly expand on Arizona’s existing
research-focused psychedelics law that provides $5 million in annual funding to
support studies into psilocybin therapy.

Under the new bill, an Arizona Psilocybin Advisory Board would be established,
comprised of members appointed by the governor and legislative leaders.
Representatives of the attorney general’s office and DHS, as well as military
veterans, first responders, scientists with experience with psilocybin and
physicians would be among the members.






The board would be responsible for establishing training criteria for psilocybin
service center staff, making recommendations on the implementation of the law,
and studying the science and policy developments related to psychedelics.



By July 31, 2025 and each year after that, members would need to submit an
annual report on the status of “medical, psychological and scientific” studies
into the safety and efficacy of psilocybin, as well as a “long-term strategic
plan” on ensuring that psychedelic-assisted therapy remains “safe, accessible
and affordable” to people 21 and older.

Medical directors of psychedelic-assisted therapy centers would need to complete
at least 132 hours of training under an approved program, which would need to
involve lessons on the historical and traditional use of psychedelics, safety
and ethics, facilitation skills and preparation, administration and integration.

The bill, which is cosponsored by Senate President Warren Petersen (R), states
that DHS would need to start accepting applications for psychedelics centers by
January 1, 2026. The department would need to promulgate rules for the program,
but it would be barred from requiring specific eligible conditions for
participation in psilocybin services.



Regulators could also license psilocybin centers that are carrying out clinical
trials into the psychedelic that could lead to a Food and Drug
Administration-approved drug.

“This bill is purely about mental health. It’s about addressing our mental
health crisis,” Josh Mozell, an attorney and president of the Psychedelic
Association of Arizona, testified at Tuesday’s hearing. “We need to offer some
hope and we need to give our doctors options for treatment.”

“We need to do more for these folks who do so much for us,” Sue Sisley, a
psychedelics researcher licensed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to
cultivate psilocybin for study purposes, said. “With treatment with
psilocybin-assisted therapy, it’s giving us all hope.”



Meanwhile, last month an Arizona House committee approved a separate bill to
protect the $5 million in funding that’s already been designated for psilocybin
research from being redistributed amid a state budget deficit.

The fund was enacted last year under an appropriations package signed by the
governor that mandated research into the medical potential of psilocybin
mushrooms for a variety of conditions.

A Psilocybin Research Advisory Council that was established under DHS met for
the first time last November prior an open application period for potential
grant recipients.

The grant money must be distributed to applicants with proposals focused on
clinical trials that are meant to identify therapeutic applications that could
receive FDA approval for treatment of 13 listed conditions.



Arizona one of several states where lawmakers have worked to promote research
into psychedelics amid growing public interest in expanding therapeutic access
and ending criminalization.

On Tuesday, for example, an Indiana House committee approved a Republican-led
bill that would fund clinical research trials into psilocybin that has already
cleared the full Senate.

Over the weekend, a New Mexico Senate committee unanimously passed a bipartisan
resolution requesting that state officials research the therapeutic potential of
psilocybin and explore the creation of a regulatory framework to provide access
to the psychedelic.



An Alaska Senate panel took testimony last week on a plan that would create a
state task force to explore how to legalize and regulate the therapeutic use of
psychedelics in the state.

Bipartisan California lawmakers also recently introduced a bill to legalize
psychedelic service centers where adults 21 and older could access psilocybin,
MDMA, mescaline and DMT in a supervised environment with trained facilitators.

A Nevada joint legislative committee held a hearing with expert and public
testimony on the therapeutic potential of substances like psilocybin last month.
Law enforcement representatives also shared their concerns around
legalization—but there was notable acknowledgement that some reforms should be
enacted, including possible rescheduling.



The governor of Massachusetts recently promoted the testimony of activists who
spoke in favor of her veterans-focused bill that would, in part, create a
psychedelics work group to study the therapeutic potential of substances such as
psilocybin.

A New York lawmaker recently introduced a bill that would create a pilot program
to provide psilocybin therapy to 10,000 people, focusing on military veterans
and first responders, while the legislature also considers broader psychedelics
reform.

A Missouri House committee considered a proposal last month that would legalize
the medical use of psilocybin in the state and mandate clinical trials exploring
the therapeutic potential of the psychedelic.
