Disrupt Fentanyl Pill Production Act
HR 9258, the Disrupt Fentanyl Pill Production Act, regulates pill press molds used to create counterfeit drugs by requiring manufacturers to register these molds with the FDA and assign them unique serial numbers. It adds a new federal crime for knowingly possessing a pill press mold with intent to make counterfeit fentanyl or other Schedule I/II drugs, punishable by up to 20 years in prison. The bill directly affects drug manufacturers using these molds and individuals possessing them for illicit purposes. The FDA must issue implementing regulations within one year, with full requirements taking effect two years after those rules are finalized.
