Forwarded by Subcommittee to Full Committee by Voice Vote.
Summary
The bill amends the Controlled Substances Act to force manufacturers, distributors, importers, exporters and brokers of tablet‑pressing or capsule‑filling machines—and their essential parts—to permanently affix a serial number and keep records of it. It also makes it a crime to remove, alter, or hide those serial numbers or to move equipment knowing the numbers have been tampered with. The aim is to give law‑enforcement a way to trace machines used in illicit drug manufacturing.
