Fight Illicit Pill Presses Act This bill broadens the scope of pill machines that are subject to regulation under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

Currently, the CSA requires persons who manufacture, distribute, import, export, or purchase certain regulated machines to keep records of and report on transactions involving the machines. Currently, the term regulated machines includes tableting machines and encapsulating machines.
