Bill > H2033

This bill amends Section 32G of Chapter 94C of the Massachusetts General Laws to make it illegal for any person to possess, purchase, deliver, sell, or intend to sell or deliver certain pill-making equipment (specifically tableting machines and encapsulating machines) or controlled substance counterfeiting materials if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the equipment will be used to manufacture illegal controlled substances or counterfeit controlled substances. The legislation establishes this as a felony offense, with potential penalties including imprisonment for 1 to 5 years in state prison or county correction facility, a fine of at least $25,000, or both. The bill aims to prevent the unauthorized production of illegal drugs by regulating equipment that could be used in their manufacture, and it provides significant legal consequences for individuals found in violation of these new restrictions.
