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 bill 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 prevalence of fentanyl in counterfeit pills. The resolution directs the Clerk of the Board to send copies to U.S. Senator Ashley Moody and the Florida Congressional Delegation, and instructs the County's federal lobbyists to advocate for the bill's passage.
