HR 9540 United States House · 118th Congress

Fight Illicit Pill Presses Act of 2024

This bill requires manufacturers and distributors of pill-making machines (tableting and encapsulating machines) to permanently affix a serial number to each device. It directly affects companies that produce or sell these machines, mandating the serial number be on a nonremovable part. The law also prohibits removing, altering, or hiding these serial numbers, and bans transporting or possessing such machines with tampered numbers. Regulations implementing these requirements must be issued within 180 days of the bill's enactment, applying only to machines sold after those rules take effect.
