This legislation amends the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act to combat the illicit production of controlled substances. It specifically targets the manufacturing and distribution of equipment such as tableting machines , encapsulating machines , press punches , die systems , and gelatin capsules . The bill makes it unlawful to engage in these activities if there is intent or knowledge that the equipment will be used to produce controlled substances or listed chemicals. This prohibition applies when there is intent, knowledge, or reasonable cause to believe that these substances will be unlawfully imported into the United States. Violations of these new provisions will incur significant criminal penalties, including imprisonment for up to 15 years depending on the scale of the offense. Additionally, the bill directs the United States Sentencing Commission to review and amend Federal sentencing guidelines to incorporate these new offenses and penalties.
