What this bill does
The bill would create a clinical study of psychedelic treatment for veterans with treatment-resistant PTSD, to be conducted at Huntsman Mental Health Institute under existing federal and university research protocols. The bill's passage does not depend on funding, and the study would enroll as many patients as the funding supports, with unspent private donations returned if funding is not raised.

What it costs you
- State spending from tax funds goes up by $2.0 million in FY2027.
From the bill's latest official fiscal note, counting the state's tax funds (General, Income Tax, Education, Uniform School, and Transportation) in the first full budget year after the session. Some bills take effect partway through that year, so later years can be larger; the note shows each year. Household count: U.S. Census Bureau. An average is a starting point, not your bill.
