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, specifically addressing the threat of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids in counterfeit pills. The resolution supports efforts to combat the opioid epidemic by disrupting the supply chain of illicit synthetic drugs. 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 its passage.
