The bill targets organized theft rings that steal retail goods and cargo and resell them online and in stores. It amends federal criminal law so that transporting or receiving stolen goods can be prosecuted when the goods reach an aggregate value of $5,000 or more over any 12-month period, in addition to the existing threshold for a single shipment worth $5,000 or more. It broadens the transportation-of-stolen-goods statute to also cover goods obtained by embezzlement, false pretense, or other illegal means, and it adds theft and stolen-goods offenses to the lists of crimes that trigger criminal forfeiture and money-laundering liability. The bill also directs the Department of Homeland Security to create an Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center that links federal, state, local, and tribal investigators, with the center set to shut down seven years after it is established.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 68 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 412 quarterly reports filed by 35 lobbying firms and by 52 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
22 of those filings did not cite this bill by number. They named a short title it shares with its Senate companion, S 1404, so the reference belongs to the pair rather than to one chamber’s vehicle.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: American Trucking Associations; Peace Officers Research Association of California; Brambles (Previously Reported As Brambles Limited); Ebay Inc.; Lowe's Companies Inc. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 63 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
