  1  1    Section 1.  Section 124.101, Code 2015, is amended by adding
  1  2 the following new subsection:
  1  3    NEW SUBSECTION.  15A.  "Imitation controlled substance" means
  1  4 a substance which is not a controlled substance but which by
  1  5 color, shape, size, markings, and other aspects of dosage unit
  1  6 appearance, and packaging or other factors, appears to be or
  1  7 resembles a controlled substance. The board of pharmacy may
  1  8 designate a substance as an imitation controlled substance
  1  9 pursuant to the board's rulemaking authority and in accordance
  1 10 with chapter 17A.  "Imitation controlled substance" also
  1 11 means any substance determined to be an imitation controlled
  1 12 substance pursuant to section 124.101B.
  1 13    Sec. 2.  NEW SECTION.  124.101B  Factors indicating an
  1 14 imitation controlled substance.
  1 15    If a substance has not been designated as an imitation
  1 16 controlled substance by the board of pharmacy and if dosage
  1 17 unit appearance alone does not establish that a substance is an
  1 18 imitation controlled substance, the following factors may be
  1 19 considered in determining whether the substance is an imitation
  1 20 controlled substance:
  1 21    1.  The person in control of the substance expressly or
  1 22 impliedly represents that the substance has the effect of a
  1 23 controlled substance.
  1 24    2.  The person in control of the substance expressly
  1 25 or impliedly represents that the substance because of its
  1 26 nature or appearance can be sold or delivered as a controlled
  1 27 substance or as a substitute for a controlled substance.
  1 28    3.  The person in control of the substance either demands or
  1 29 receives money or other property having a value substantially
  1 30 greater than the actual value of the substance as consideration
  1 31 for delivery of the substance.
  1 32    Sec. 3.  Section 124.201, subsection 4, Code 2015, is amended
  1 33 to read as follows:
  1 34    4.  If any new substance is designated as a controlled
  1 35 substance under federal law and notice of the designation is
  2  1 given to the board, the board shall similarly designate as
  2  2 controlled the new substance under this chapter after the
  2  3 expiration of thirty days from publication in the federal
  2  4 register of a final order designating a new substance as a
  2  5 controlled substance, unless within that thirty=day period
  2  6 the board objects to the new designation. In that case the
  2  7 board shall publish the reasons for objection and afford
  2  8 all interested parties an opportunity to be heard. At
  2  9 the conclusion of the hearing the board shall announce its
  2 10 decision. Upon publication of objection to a new substance
  2 11 being designated as a controlled substance under this chapter
  2 12 by the board, control under this chapter is stayed until the
  2 13 board publishes its decision. If a substance is designated
  2 14 as controlled by the board under this subsection the control
  2 15 shall be considered a temporary and if, within sixty days after
  2 16 the next regular session of the general assembly convenes,
  2 17 the general assembly has not made the corresponding changes
  2 18 in this chapter, the temporary designation of control of
  2 19 the substance by the board shall be nullified amendment to
  2 20 the schedules of controlled substances in this chapter.  If
  2 21 the board so designates a substance as controlled, which
  2 22 is considered a temporary amendment to the schedules of
  2 23 controlled substances in this chapter, and if the general
  2 24 assembly does not amend this chapter to enact the temporary
  2 25 amendment and make the enactment effective within two years
  2 26 from the date the temporary amendment first became effective,
  2 27 the temporary amendment is repealed by operation of law two
  2 28 years from the effective date of the temporary amendment.  A
  2 29 temporary amendment repealed by operation of law is subject to
  2 30 section 4.13 relating to the construction of statutes and the
  2 31 application of a general savings provision.
