  1  1    Section 1.  Section 124.204, subsection 2, Code 2017, is
  1  2 amended by adding the following new paragraph:
  1  3    NEW PARAGRAPH.  bd.  U=47700.
  1  4                           EXPLANATION
  1  5 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
  1  6 the explanation's substance by the members of the general assembly.
  1  7    This bill adds a substance to the controlled substance
  1  8 schedules.
  1  9    The bill classifies U=47700, commonly known as "pink",
  1 10 as a schedule I opiate controlled substance.  A schedule I
  1 11 controlled substance has a high potential for abuse and has no
  1 12 accepted medical use in the United States or lacks accepted
  1 13 safety for use in treatment under medical supervision.
  1 14    Pursuant to Code section 124.401(1)(c)(8), it would be
  1 15 a class "C" felony for any unauthorized person to violate
  1 16 a provision of Code section 124.401 involving a controlled
  1 17 substance classified in schedule I pursuant to the bill.  A
  1 18 class "C" felony is punishable by confinement for no more
  1 19 than 10 years and a fine of at least $1,000 but not more than
  1 20 $10,000.
  1 21    If a person possesses a controlled substance classified
  1 22 as a schedule I controlled substance in violation of Code
  1 23 section 124.401(5) as a first offense, the person commits a
  1 24 serious misdemeanor.  A serious misdemeanor is punishable by
  1 25 confinement for no more than one year and a fine of at least
  1 26 $315 but not more than $1,875.
