## Summary

**Evaluate emerging investigational treatments for treatment-resistant PTSD** in veterans, active-duty servicemembers, and those transitioning to civilian life. The bill would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to produce a coordinated report on safety, dosing, regulatory pathways, and implementation considerations. - Veterans, servicemembers, and transitioning members would get a review of safety, dosing, and adverse-event data from the 2026 covered clinical trial of organic whole psilocybin-containing mushrooms and an analysis of applicability to Armed Forces members. - The Department would assess effects on force health protection, medical readiness, retention, and suicide-prevention strategies and identify gaps in care for those with treatment-resistant PTSD. - The report would describe legal and regulatory requirements for any expanded access or pilot involving Schedule I substances, require coordination with the Food and Drug Administration, Drug Enforcement Administration, Veterans Affairs, and Health and Human Services, and propose workforce, infrastructure, funding needs, and a timeline for pilots beginning in fiscal year 2027.
