On May 12, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2853, the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act, by a vote of 348 to 60, thus advancing a critical bipartisan effort to strengthen collaboration among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies while equipping them with tools to address the sophisticated criminal networks impacting communities across the country.
ICSC has been a strong supporter of federal ORC legislation since the introduction of the first version of the bill in 2022. Studies show a total of $9 billion of retail merchandise was lost to ORC in 2025. U.S. retailers experienced a 9% increase in the value of retail crime loss compared to 12 months prior. A small portion—just 10% of offenders—account for 68% of the total value of stolen merchandise.
The legislation now moves to the U.S. Senate for consideration. ICSC will continue working with congressional leaders and administration officials to ensure this legislation crosses the finish line and is ultimately signed into law by President Donald Trump.
“Today’s bipartisan passage of the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act marks a major victory for communities, retailers, employees and consumers across the country,” ICSC President & CEO Tom McGee said. “Organized retail crime is not a victimless offense. It threatens public safety, disrupts local economies and places enormous strain on retailers and property owners of all sizes. ICSC is proud to have worked alongside lawmakers, industry partners and law enforcement since this legislation was first introduced, and we thank the House for advancing this critical bipartisan solution. We now urge the Senate to act quickly so this legislation can be signed into law.”
