The bill makes changes to controlled substances schedules I, III, IV, and V 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.

AI Summary
This bill updates Iowa's controlled substances schedules and precursor substances reporting requirements to align with federal regulations. Specifically, the bill adds numerous new synthetic opioids, fentanyl analogs, and other substances to Schedule I and Schedule III of the controlled substances list, including various chemically complex compounds with scientific names like alpha'-Methyl butyryl fentanyl and 2-Methyl AP-237. The bill also modifies the list of anabolic steroids in Schedule III by adding and removing specific chemical compounds. Additionally, the bill updates precursor substance reporting requirements, such as expanding the definition of iodine concentration and broadening the reporting guidelines for certain chemical compounds like N-phenylpiperidin-4-amine. The bill maintains existing penalty structures for controlled substance violations, which can range from aggravated misdemeanors to class "B" felonies with potential imprisonment terms and significant fines. These changes are designed to keep Iowa's drug laws current with emerging substances and federal regulatory standards, with the bill taking effect immediately upon enactment.
