Call to Order
A quorum was established. The meeting was called to order by Mark Altenhofen, OHA Staff, at 1:05 PM.
Minutes Approval
N/A
Staff Report
Mark provided a brief update on the current status of the Council and conducted roll call. He then
began introduction of new members, current members and other OHA staff in attendance.
Draft Charter – Mark provided an overview of the charter and presented to the Council for feedback.
There are currently vacancies for the Chair and Vice Chair role and Mark asked the members to email
him if they are interested in serving in either role. These roles will be forwarded for consideration and
appointed by the Director of OHA.
PCAC Website – A draft structure of the new website was presented and will be one of the projects the
Council will need to work on completing in the near future. Mark asked members to provide feedback
and email him if they have any suggestions for content. He also asked new members to send him a draft
of their Bios to add. Linda asked how often the website will be updated. Mark indicated that this will
vary depending upon content area. For example, public meeting notices will be updated regularly and
as required by public records policy. Linda wondered how articles and other content would be vetted
prior to adding to the website. Mark said this will be at the discretion of Council leadership and OHA
Staff. He agreed that this can be a bit challenging given the broad range of possibilities.
Mark reviewed the current open positions for the membership and encouraged Council members to
refer colleagues that they think would be interested.
PCAC Minutes September 2, 2021 1OHA Psilocybin Advisory Board Barb Hansen is currently the PCAC representative serving on the OHA Psilocybin Advisory Board. She provided a summary of the current work of the Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board. She indicated that there is a two-year implementation process associated with Senate Bill 109 which passed last November. Meeting materials are available on the OHA website and there is a list of current members. She referenced the work that has been done by the rapid evidence review sub-committee and completed this past July. Barb is currently working on the licensing sub-committee and presented the eligibility requirements and standards for the four different licensure types currently under consideration. She indicated that some of the licensure requirements are called out in the statute and a lot is not. For example, under the Facilitator license type, there is a separate training sub-committee that is vetting content for a 10-month training program that a Facilitator must complete. Then the licensing sub-committee will review the content and testing requirements that will be required prior to implementation. There is also a Products sub-committee that will determine whether there will be natural mushroom or manufacture of prescribed psilocybin products. The role of the Advisory Board is to recommend what rules should be adopted by OHA for the administration of this program. The rule making process will follow standard OHA administrative rule procedures and include public testimony prior to finalizing the program. The process is expected to take much of next year to complete with the goal of having licensure requirements and programs available by January of 2023. Barb also said that out of state applicants who would like to be a facilitator are not going to be allowed at this time. The current requirements in statute call out that Facilitators must be Oregon residents who have lived in the state for two years. Glenn said he is very interested in reviewing the evidence that is under consideration and will be taking time to take a look at it. Barb provided information how to find this information on the OHA website. HB 2981 Barb provided an update on this bill. She said this bill was similar to what was presented in 2019 and passed in the last legislative session. HB2981 did not have as much detail as what was previously submitted, but does direct the Oregon Health Authority to work toward a palliative care benefit that could be contracted with CCO’s around the state. Barb shared the website information with the Council members. She thought this would be a good group to help work on the rule making process once that begins with OHA. Barb specifically pointed out that there will be a need to establish provider qualifications and eligibility criteria which is relevant to the work of the Council. There are some criteria that are spelled out in the statute and much that is not. Mark said that this would be a good area of focus for the Council and that staff are monitoring the process within OHA. Public Comment There was not any public comment at this meeting. Adjournment Meeting adjourned at 2:00 PM. Next meeting is scheduled for October 7th, 2021 from 1:00-2:00 PM. PCAC Minutes September 2, 2021 2
