Bill Summary
This bill relates to schedule III controlled substances. The bill includes misoprostol, mifepristone, and methotrexate as schedule III controlled substances. A person who manufactures, distributes, or dispenses a schedule III controlled substance commits a class “C” felony and, in addition to the provisions of Code section 902.9, subsection 1, paragraph “d”, shall be punished by a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $50,000.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to classify misoprostol, mifepristone, and methotrexate as Schedule III controlled substances, which are generally drugs with a moderate to low potential for abuse and dependence. By adding these substances to Schedule III, the bill establishes significant penalties for their unlawful manufacture, distribution, or dispensing. Specifically, any individual found to be in violation would face a Class "C" felony, a serious criminal offense, and would be subject to a fine ranging from $1,000 to $50,000, in addition to other potential punishments outlined in the law. This action would likely impact the availability and regulation of these medications, which are used for various medical purposes, including the termination of pregnancies.
