Bill Summary

Amends the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. Provides that it is unlawful for any person to possess, purchase, deliver, sell, or possess with intent to sell a tableting machine or encapsulating machine knowing, or under circumstances where one reasonably should know, that it will be used to manufacture, compound, convert, produce, process, prepare, or otherwise introduce into the human body a controlled substance in violation of the Act. Provides that a violation is a Class 3 felony. Defines "encapsulating machine" and "tableting machine".

AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Controlled Substances Act by adding new provisions that make it illegal to possess, sell, or transfer tableting and encapsulating machines with the knowledge or reasonable expectation that they will be used to illegally manufacture controlled substances. The bill specifically defines two types of machines: an "encapsulating machine" as equipment that can fill capsules with powdered or granular materials, and a "tableting machine" as equipment that can compact or compress materials into solid tablets. These definitions cover manual, semiautomatic, and fully automatic machines. If a person is found in violation of these provisions, they will be charged with a Class 3 felony. The purpose of this legislation appears to be preventing the illegal production of controlled substances by regulating access to machinery that could be used in their manufacture.
