U.S. House Passes CORCA to Combat Organized Retail Crime and Supply Chain Fraud
The United States House of Representatives has passed the Combatting Organized Retail Crime Act (CORCA), a bipartisan bill aimed at addressing organized retail crime and supply chain fraud. Introduced by Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. David Joyce, the legislation seeks to enhance coordination among federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. It also aims to improve information-sharing with retailers and manufacturers, strengthen legal tools against criminal financing, and establish an Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center within the Department of Homeland Security. The bill has received support from various industry groups, including the Transportation Intermediaries Association and the National Retail Federation, who emphasize the growing threat of cargo theft and its impact on the supply chain.
