To amend the Controlled Substances Act to provide for the regulation of critical parts of tableting machines and encapsulating machines, and for other purposes.

Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Bill 119 HR 1100, also known as the "Critical Parts of Tableting and Encapsulating Machines Regulation Act," aims to amend the Controlled Substances Act to regulate certain parts of tableting and encapsulating machines. These machines are commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture pills and capsules.

The bill seeks to address concerns about the misuse of these machines in the production of illegal drugs, particularly opioids. By regulating critical parts of these machines, such as the dies and punches used to shape pills, the legislation aims to prevent their diversion for illicit purposes.

In addition to regulating these critical parts, the bill also includes provisions for increased oversight and reporting requirements for manufacturers of tableting and encapsulating machines. This is intended to ensure that these machines are being used in a lawful and responsible manner. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 HR 1100 is to help combat the opioid epidemic by preventing the misuse of tableting and encapsulating machines in the production of illegal drugs. The legislation is a step towards improving the regulation of these machines and promoting public safety.
