An Act relative to pill press machines

HD 3071 prohibits possessing, selling, or delivering pill press machines, drug molds, or counterfeiting materials if known to be used for manufacturing controlled substances or counterfeit drugs. Violators face felony charges with penalties of up to 5 years in prison or $25,000 fines. The bill requires the Board of Registration in Pharmacy to create rules for legal use and licensing of these machines and may mandate registration of such equipment. This directly affects individuals and businesses handling pill presses, including legitimate pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors who must comply with the new regulations.
