Preventing Rogue Equipment for Synthetic Substances Act aims to combat the illegal importation of counterfeit pill press machines.

The Preventing Rogue Equipment for Synthetic Substances Act, also known as the PRESS Act, amends the Controlled Substances Act to address the illegal importation of counterfeit pill press machines. It imposes penalties for manufacturing or distributing equipment, chemicals, or products intended for the unlawful production of controlled substances or listed chemicals. The bill also extends extraterritorial jurisdiction to cover such activities, ensuring that violations occurring outside the U.S. can be prosecuted domestically.
