This bill amends Iowa's controlled substances schedules by adding several new substances to the list, specifically under Section 124.204. The new additions include various chemical compounds such as Butonitazene, Flunitazene, and multiple fentanyl analogs, among others. Additionally, the bill removes certain existing paragraphs from the controlled substances schedule, specifically paragraphs c, e, and f in subsection 9, which may pertain to previously listed substances that are no longer included.
The bill also establishes penalties for violations involving these controlled substances, categorizing them as class B felonies, class C felonies, or aggravated misdemeanors, each with specific imprisonment terms and fines. The legislation is deemed of immediate importance and will take effect upon enactment, aligning Iowa's controlled substances regulations with federal standards as outlined in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
