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 counterfeit pills containing fentanyl. The resolution supports efforts to combat illicit synthetic drug trafficking by providing law enforcement with tools to disrupt the supply chain. The Board directed the Clerk to transmit the resolution to U.S. Senator Ashley Moody and the Florida Congressional Delegation, and instructed the County's federal lobbyists to advocate for this legislation.
