A bill for an act relating to drug paraphernalia, and providing penalties.
HF 84 changes Iowa's penalties for drug paraphernalia violations. It sets a fixed $260 fine for manufacturing, delivering, selling, or possessing drug paraphernalia (previously had a $105-$855 range) and clarifies that these violations cannot be used to increase penalties for other drug crimes under Chapter 124. The bill directly affects individuals charged with paraphernalia offenses. These changes make the penalty more consistent and prevent stacking with other drug-related charges.
