URGING THE US CONGRESS TO ENACT SENATE BILL 4446

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners 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 epidemic and the proliferation of fentanyl in counterfeit pills. The resolution supports law enforcement efforts to disrupt the supply chain of synthetic opioids. The Board directed the Clerk to transmit a copy of the resolution to U.S. Senator Ashley Moody and the Florida Congressional Delegation, and to direct the County's federal lobbyists to advocate for the bill.
