This bill amends Section 124.208 of the Iowa Code to classify certain abortifacients as schedule III controlled substances. Specifically, it adds a new subsection that includes misoprostol, mifepristone, and methotrexate under this classification. The bill outlines the chemical names of these substances and clarifies that the inclusion of this explanation does not imply agreement with the descriptions by the members of the General Assembly.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for individuals who manufacture, distribute, or dispense these schedule III controlled substances. Such actions will be classified as a class C felony, and offenders will face fines ranging from $1,000 to $50,000, in accordance with existing provisions in Code section 902.9.
