SUBCHAPTER II
STANDARDS AND SCHEDULES
Referred to in §124.101, 155A.3

  
     
124.201  Duty to recommend changes in schedules — temporary amendments to schedules.
  1.  The board shall administer the regulatory provisions of this chapter. Annually, within thirty days after the convening of each regular session of the general assembly, the board shall recommend to the general assembly any deletions from, or revisions in the schedules of substances, enumerated in section 124.204, 124.206, 124.208, 124.210, or 124.212, which it deems necessary or advisable. In making a recommendation to the general assembly regarding a substance, the board shall consider the following:
  a.  The actual or relative potential for abuse;
  b.  The scientific evidence of its pharmacological effect, if known;
  c.  State of current scientific knowledge regarding the substance;
  d.  The history and current pattern of abuse;
  e.  The scope, duration, and significance of abuse;
  f.  The risk to the public health;
  g.  The potential of the substance to produce psychic or physiological dependence liability; and
  h.  Whether the substance is an immediate precursor of a substance already controlled under this subchapter.
  2.  After considering the factors described in subsection 1, the board shall make a recommendation to the general assembly, specifying the change which should be made in existing schedules, if it finds that the potential for abuse or lack thereof of the substance is not properly reflected by the existing schedules.
  3.  If the board designates a substance as an immediate precursor, substances which are precursors of the controlled precursor shall not be subject to control solely because they are precursors of the controlled precursor. Such designations shall be made pursuant to the procedures of chapter 17A.
  4.  If any new substance is designated as a controlled substance under federal law and notice of the designation is given to the board, the board shall similarly designate as controlled the new substance under this chapter after the expiration of thirty days from publication in the federal register of a final order designating a new substance as a controlled substance, unless within that thirty-day period the board objects to the new designation. In that case the board shall publish the reasons for objection and afford all interested parties an opportunity to be heard. At the conclusion of the hearing the board shall announce its decision. Upon publication of objection to a new substance being designated as a controlled substance under this chapter by the board, control under this chapter is stayed until the board publishes its decision. If a substance is designated as controlled by the board under this subsection the control shall be considered a temporary amendment to the schedules of controlled substances in this chapter. If the board so designates a substance as controlled, which is considered a temporary amendment to the schedules of controlled substances in this chapter, and if the general assembly does not amend this chapter to enact the temporary amendment and make the enactment effective within two years from the date the temporary amendment first became effective, the temporary amendment is repealed by operation of law two years from the effective date of the temporary amendment. A temporary amendment repealed by operation of law is subject to section 4.13 relating to the construction of statutes and the application of a general savings provision.

  e.  If the registrant is a licensed health care professional, the registrant has had the registrant’s professional license revoked or suspended or has been otherwise disciplined in a way that restricts the registrant’s authority to handle or prescribe controlled substances.
  2.  The board may limit revocation, suspension, or restriction of a registration or discipline of a registrant to the particular controlled substance with respect to which grounds for revocation, suspension, restriction, or discipline exist.
  3.  If the board suspends, revokes, or restricts a registration, or otherwise disciplines a registrant, all controlled substances owned or possessed by the registrant at the time of the suspension, revocation, restriction, or discipline, or at the time of the effective date of the order, may be placed under seal. No disposition may be made of substances under seal until the time for taking an appeal has elapsed or until all appeals have been concluded unless a court, upon application, orders the sale of perishable substances and the deposit of the proceeds of the sale with the court.

The proceedings shall comply with the contested case procedures in accordance with chapter 17A. The proceedings shall also be conducted without regard to any criminal prosecution or other proceeding.

  b.  A warrant shall issue only upon sworn testimony of an officer or employee of the board duly designated and having knowledge of the facts alleged, before the judicial officer, establishing the grounds for issuing the warrant. If the judicial officer is satisfied that grounds for the application exist or that there is probable cause to believe they exist, the officer shall issue a warrant identifying the area, premises, building, or conveyance to be inspected, the purpose of the inspection, and, if appropriate, the type of property to be inspected, if any.
  c.  The warrant shall:

  d.  A warrant issued pursuant to this section must be executed and returned within ten days after its date unless, upon a showing of a need for additional time, the court so instructs otherwise in the warrant. If property is seized pursuant to a warrant, the person executing the warrant shall give to the person from whom the property is seized, or the person in charge of the premises from which the property is seized, a copy of the warrant and a receipt for the property seized or shall leave the copy and receipt at the place from which the property is seized. The return of the warrant shall be made promptly and shall be accompanied by a written inventory of any property seized. The inventory shall be made in the presence of the person executing the warrant and of the person from whose possession or premises the property was seized, if they are present, or in the presence of at least one credible person other than the person executing the warrant. A copy of the inventory shall be delivered to the person from whom or from whose premises the property was seized and to the applicant for the warrant.
  e.  The judicial officer who has issued a warrant under this section shall require that there be attached to the warrant a copy of the return, and of all papers filed in connection with the return, and shall file them with the clerk of the district court for the county in which the inspection was made.

  (1)  To inspect and copy records required by this chapter to be kept;
  (2)  To inspect, within reasonable limits and in a reasonable manner, controlled premises and all pertinent equipment, finished and unfinished material, containers and labeling found therein, and, except as provided in paragraph “e” of this subsection, all other things therein, including records, files, papers, processes, controls, and facilities bearing on violation of this chapter; and
  (3)  To inventory any stock of any controlled substance therein and obtain samples of any such substance.
  d.  This section shall not be construed to prevent the inspection without a warrant of books and records pursuant to a subpoena issued in accordance with section 622.65, nor shall this section be construed to prevent entries and administrative inspections, including seizures of property, without a warrant:
  (1)  With the consent of the owner, operator, or agent in charge of the controlled premises;
  (2)  In situations presenting imminent danger to health or safety;
  (3)  In situations involving inspection of conveyances where there is reasonable cause to believe that the mobility of the conveyance makes it impracticable to obtain a warrant;
  (4)  In any other exceptional or emergency circumstance where time or opportunity to apply for a warrant is lacking; and
