Bill > HR6651

This bill, titled the "Improving the Federal Response to Organized Retail Crime Act of 2025," directs key federal agency heads, including the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Postmaster General, to develop a strategy within 180 days to enhance federal investigations into organized retail crime. Organized retail crime is defined as the coordinated illegal acquisition of retail goods for resale or distribution across state lines. The strategy must outline how these agencies will improve information sharing among entities like the FBI, Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security Investigations, the Secret Service, and the Postal Service regarding organized retail crime networks, which are defined as criminal groups involved in such activities. Additionally, the strategy should detail how federal agencies will assist state and local law enforcement in gathering evidence for prosecutions and increase cooperation with the retail industry and various retail crime task forces. A joint report on this strategy is required within 180 days, and the Comptroller General will also publish a report within one year on the coordination between the private sector and law enforcement in combating organized retail crime.
