The PRESS Act amends the Controlled Substances Act to establish federal criminal penalties for manufacturing or distributing pill press machines, encapsulating machines, and related equipment with knowledge or intent that they will be used to manufacture controlled substances for unlawful importation into the United States. The bill creates extraterritorial jurisdiction over such conduct and establishes prison sentences ranging from 8 to 20 years depending on the violation type and quantity involved, and directs the U.S. Sentencing Commission to review and amend federal sentencing guidelines accordingly.
