HD 5836 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

A report of the Executive Office of Veterans Services (under Section 150 of Chapter 178 of the Acts of 2024) submitting a report on the findings and recommendations of the working group to review alternative therapies for mental health treatments for veterans

This bill requires the Executive Office of Veterans Services to submit a report detailing the findings and recommendations of a working group that reviewed alternative therapies for veterans' mental health. The report will specifically address psychedelic-based treatments, such as MDMA, which have recently received Breakthrough Therapy designation for mental health conditions. By placing this report on file, the legislation ensures that the state's assessment of these emerging options is formally recorded without mandating immediate implementation or funding changes.
