Create federal coordination and enforcement tools to combat organized retail crime

Susie Lee supports the bipartisan Combating Organized Retail Crime Act, which would establish an Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center within Homeland Security Investigations. The bill would make organized retail crime a federal offense, give federal investigators and prosecutors tools to address these operations, and require the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice to report to Congress on the crime and enforcement. Lee says federal coordination is needed because these networks operate across state lines and internationally; the House Judiciary Committee passed the bill, and it was awaiting a full House vote.

Context: The proposal had not been enacted in the supplied passage; it had passed the House Judiciary Committee and was awaiting a full House vote.

In their own words

My bipartisan legislation will support law enforcement with the tools they need to crack down on these criminal operations.
