Fight Illicit Pill Presses Act

S 2870, the "Fight Illicit Pill Presses Act," requires manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of tableting machines (used to make pills) and their key components (like punches and dies) to permanently affix serial numbers to these items. It mandates that regulated businesses report these serial numbers to the Attorney General and prohibits removing, altering, or trafficking in machines or parts with tampered serial numbers. This law directly affects businesses involved in producing, selling, or distributing pill-making equipment, aiming to improve tracking of machines potentially used for illicit drug manufacturing. The bill amends the Controlled Substances Act to create new recordkeeping and reporting requirements for these specific machines and parts.
