Pill Press Control: Combating Illegal Opioids
This new law aims to hinder the illegal production of opioids like fentanyl. It introduces strict rules for pill-making machines and their critical parts. This means manufacturers, importers, and sellers of these machines will need to register them and affix serial numbers, helping to track their origin and prevent their use for criminal purposes.
Key points
Mandatory registration and serial numbering for pill-making machines and their critical parts.
Requirement for detailed record-keeping of transactions involving these machines by manufacturers and sellers.
Penalties for non-compliance, including for removing serial numbers or possessing unregistered machines.
Creation of a national registry for pill press machines to enhance control over their circulation.
