Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) convened three Rules Advisory Committees (RACs) in August 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.
