NEW OPS DATA DASHBOARD
The Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) Data Dashboard includes OPS final orders for license denials and administrative violations. This information will continue to be updated as new final orders are issued. The dashboard currently has a placeholder for SB 303 data, which will be available after the first quarter of 2025. The dashboard will be updated as new data becomes available, including more OPS licensing and compliance data in 2025.
