Task Force on Responsible Use of Natural Psychedelic Substances - Extension and Membership

HB 427 extends the deadline for the Task Force on Responsible Use of Natural Psychedelic Substances to complete its work. The bill modifies existing law (Chapter 793 of the 2024 Acts) to delay the Task Force's report submission date from July 31, 2025, to a new date specified in the bill. This procedural extension affects the Task Force members (including state health officials, university representatives, and community experts) and the Maryland General Assembly, which will receive the final report. The Task Force's duties remain unchanged: studying psychedelic substances like psilocybin, making recommendations for legal access programs, and addressing criminal justice impacts.
