This bill amends Iowa's uniform controlled substances Act (Code chapter 124) and the precursor substances reporting requirements in Code chapter 124B. It introduces new paragraphs that add specific chemical substances to the controlled substances schedules, including various fentanyl analogs and other synthetic drugs. Notable additions include substances like alpha-Methyl butyryl fentanyl, 2,5-Dimethoxyfentanyl, and ADB-BUTINACA, among others. The bill also removes certain existing paragraphs from the controlled substances schedules, streamlining the list of regulated substances.

In addition to updating the schedules, the bill establishes penalties for violations involving these controlled substances, which may result in severe consequences, including class B felonies with a mandatory minimum imprisonment of 25 years and substantial fines. The bill also modifies the precursor substances reporting requirements to align with federal regulations. It is designed to enhance the regulation of controlled substances in Iowa and takes effect immediately upon enactment.
