Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

Miami-Dade County adopted a resolution urging the U.S. Congress to enact Senate Bill 4446 (the PRESS Act) or similar legislation. This act aims to prohibit the importation and manufacturing of pill press machines and chemical products intended for counterfeiting substances, particularly in response to the opioid and fentanyl crisis. The resolution highlights the threat of counterfeit pills containing lethal doses of fentanyl and the methods used to smuggle and assemble pill press machines. The County Commission supports this legislative effort to disrupt the supply chain of synthetic opioids.
