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.
