The STOPP Act would regulate tableting machines, encapsulating machines, and certain parts used in them. It would require the Attorney General to set rules for serial numbers, transaction records, reports, and registration. It would also create a National Pill Press Registry and require annual registration for many businesses that make, import, export, or deal in these machines or parts. The bill sets penalties for certain violations. It was introduced and referred to House committees; it has not been enacted.
Businesses and people who make, sell, import, export, or handle covered machines or parts could face new registration and recordkeeping requirements. Some machine owners could need to add serial numbers or take other steps under rules set by the Attorney General. The details would depend on those rules.
The Attorney General could charge reasonable fees for registration and related controls. The bill does not state fee amounts. No publicly available information on other costs.
