Bill Summary
This bill relates to controlled substances, including certain controlled substances schedules and precursor substances reporting requirements. The bill makes changes to controlled substances schedules I, III, and IV in Iowa’s uniform controlled substances Act (Code chapter 124) and to the precursor substances reporting requirement in Code chapter 124B to conform to the specific chemical designations of the substances contained in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 1300, 1308, and 1310. A violation involving a controlled substance included in the bill may result in a class “B” felony, and in addition to the 25-year mandatory minimum term of imprisonment for class “B” felons, a fine of not less than $5,000 nor more than $100,000; a class “C” felony punishable by imprisonment up to 10 years and a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $50,000; or an aggravated misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment up to 2 years and a fine of at least $855 but not more than $8,540. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
AI Summary
This bill updates Iowa's controlled substances regulations by adding multiple new synthetic drugs and chemical compounds to different controlled substance schedules, modifying reporting requirements for precursor substances, and establishing associated legal penalties. Specifically, the bill adds several new fentanyl analogs, synthetic cannabinoids, and other designer drugs to Schedule I (the most restrictive category), including substances with complex chemical names like "alpha'-Methyl butyryl fentanyl" and "ADB-BUTINACA". The bill also updates Schedule III and Schedule IV to include additional synthetic substances and anabolic steroids. Additionally, the bill modifies precursor substance reporting requirements, such as expanding reporting rules for iodine and chemical mixtures containing specific compounds. The changes align Iowa's drug laws more closely with federal regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations. Violations involving these newly scheduled substances can result in significant criminal penalties, ranging from aggravated misdemeanors (up to 2 years imprisonment and fines up to $8,540) to class "B" felonies (mandatory 25-year minimum sentences and fines up to $100,000). The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
