Oregon Psilocybin Services – Administrative Rules

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.
