A bill for an act prohibiting certain actions relating to abortifacient drugs in the state, and providing penalties.
HF 423 prohibits the manufacture, distribution, prescription, dispensing, sale, or transfer of specific abortifacient drugs (including mifepristone, mifegyne, and mifeprex) within Iowa. It imposes a class C felony penalty for violations, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and fines between $1,370 and $13,660. The bill explicitly excludes liability for women receiving abortions using these drugs and does not restrict contraceptive agents administered before pregnancy confirmation. This legislation directly affects healthcare providers, pharmacies, and manufacturers handling these drugs, while allowing standard contraceptive use.
