Tracking Pill Presses: New Rules to Fight Illicit Drug Production.
This law aims to enhance public safety by making it harder to produce illegal pills, often laced with fentanyl. It requires all manufacturers and sellers of pill-making machines (tableting and encapsulating) to permanently affix a serial number to them. It becomes illegal to possess or deal with a machine if the serial number has been removed or altered, helping authorities track the source of dangerous counterfeit drugs.
Key points
All new pill-making machines must have a permanent, non-removable serial number affixed by the manufacturer or seller for easier tracking.
It is now a crime to remove, alter, or possess a machine knowing its serial number has been tampered with.
The goal is to reduce the production of dangerous counterfeit pills, thereby increasing community safety.
