CT HB07065

Possession of less than one-half ounce of psilocybin becomes a civil violation rather than a criminal offense, with fines of $150 for a first offense and $200-$500 for subsequent offenses, effective October 1, 2025

Law enforcement must seize and destroy psilocybin as contraband when issuing a violation, but possession under the threshold no longer constitutes a class A misdemeanor

Drug paraphernalia laws are amended to exclude equipment used for psilocybin in amounts under one-half ounce from criminal penalties

Persons under age 21 convicted of the psilocybin violation face a 60-day driver's license suspension, and those seeking a new license must wait 150 days after meeting other requirements

First or second offenses under this provision are excluded from the definition of "delinquent act" for juveniles, preventing youth adjudication for minor psilocybin possession
