Bill Summary
AN ACT To combat organized crime involving the illegal acquisition of retail goods and cargo for the purpose of selling those illegally obtained goods through physical and online retail marketplaces.
AI Summary
This bill, the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2025, aims to address the growing problem of organized theft of retail goods and cargo by enhancing federal law enforcement tools and establishing a new coordination center. It proposes to amend existing federal law, specifically Title 18 of the U.S. Code, to strengthen penalties and asset forfeiture provisions related to the transportation and sale of stolen goods, including those acquired through fraud or false pretenses, and to include items like gift cards and prepaid cards in money laundering definitions. A key provision is the creation of the Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center, to be established within the Department of Homeland Security, which will be responsible for coordinating federal investigations, collaborating with state and local law enforcement, sharing information with businesses, tracking crime trends, and providing training and technical assistance. This center will be led by an experienced law enforcement officer and will include staff from various federal agencies, with the potential for state and local law enforcement detailees, to create a unified front against these increasingly sophisticated and often transnational criminal organizations that pose a threat to the national economy, consumer safety, and national security.
