Bill Summary
This bill relates to controlled substances, including certain controlled substances schedules. The bill makes changes to the controlled substances schedule I in Iowa’s uniform controlled substances Act (Code chapter 124) to conform to the specific chemical designations of the substances contained in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 1308. 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 schedules to align with federal regulations, specifically adding several new substances to Schedule I, which are typically drugs with a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. These additions include various synthetic opioids and other psychoactive compounds, identified by their chemical names and common street names like Butonitazene, Flunitazene, and several forms of fentanyl. The bill also removes some existing substances from Schedule I, likely to be replaced by more precise federal designations. Importantly, it clarifies that violations involving these controlled substances can lead to severe penalties, including a class "B" felony, which carries a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison and significant fines, or lesser charges like a class "C" felony or aggravated misdemeanor with corresponding prison terms and fines. The bill takes effect immediately upon being signed into law.
