New Task Force to Combat Supply Chain Fraud and Organized Cargo Theft.
This law establishes a specialized coordination center and a multi-agency task force to more effectively combat organized theft and fraud targeting goods in transit and retail stores. The goal is to secure supply chains, which should lead to better product availability and potentially lower costs for consumers by reducing losses from crime. These new units will collaborate with local police and private companies to dismantle criminal organizations.
Key points
Creation of a Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center to collect data on theft and identify high-risk regions (transport, distribution networks, retail stores).
Establishment of an Interagency Task Force involving federal and local agencies to disrupt organized groups stealing from rail, motor carriers, and intermodal systems.
Enhanced cooperation between law enforcement and private companies to quickly respond to threats and improve the security of goods delivery, aiming to stabilize the market.
