The House has passed legislation aimed at cracking down on organized retail crime, including cargo thefts impacting U.S. dairy shippers.
The National Milk Producers Federation and the U.S. Dairy Export Council are praising the bill’s passage, saying criminals have been breaking into shipping containers looking for high-value retail goods, while dairy products get caught in the middle. Industry leaders say the thefts have disrupted deliveries and created new supply chain concerns for exporters.
The Combatting Organized Retail Crime Act would give law enforcement additional tools and resources to target the criminal networks.
The bill now heads to the Senate.
