PURE Act

This bill removes the requirement to test methamphetamine purity for sentencing under federal law. It amends the Controlled Substances Act to eliminate purity thresholds in sentencing guidelines for methamphetamine offenses, as current methamphetamine is consistently over 80% pure (95.1% in 2024), making purity testing unnecessary. The bill directs the U.S. Sentencing Commission to review and update sentencing guidelines for methamphetamine cases to maintain deterrent severity while focusing on factors like victim impact or weapon use. It directly affects federal prosecutors, courts, and defendants in methamphetamine trafficking cases by streamlining prosecutions and reducing laboratory burdens.
