Background on the Rulemaking Process
Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) section is required to adopt administrative rules to administer ORS chapter 475A, the Oregon Psilocybin Services Act. The rulemaking process is informed by recommendations from the Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board (OPAB), input from Rules Advisory Committees (RACs), and comments received during public comment periods. You can read current OPS administrative rules here:
Oregon Administrative Rules 333-333.
In January 2024, 
OPS Guidance on Administrative Rules was published to provide guidance to training programs, licensees, and license applicants on how to comply with OPS administrative
rules.
Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) expects to open administrative rules during the fall of each year. Please see additional information below on rulemaking.
2024 Rules Advisory Committees
Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) will convene three Rules Advisory Committees (RACs) this summer to discuss (1) Implementation of
SB 303, (2) Training Programs and Facilitators, and (3) Additional Rules
Related to Psilocybin Services and Licensed Premises. In addition to providing recommendations on proposed rule language, RACs evaluate the fiscal and racial impact of proposed rules.
RACs are an important part of the rulemaking process. RACs are comprised of individuals who have subject matter expertise, lived experience and who are likely to be affected by the proposed rules. The RAC process is designed to include a diversity of opinions and viewpoints.
Each RAC will meet between August 5 and August 16, 2024. Applicants will need to be available during regular business hours during this time. Exact meeting times will be scheduled by the end of July, based on RAC member availability.
If you would like to apply to serve on a RAC, please download and complete the application form and e-mail to: OHA.Psilocybin@OHA.oregon.gov by Friday, June 21, 2024.
