A06568 Memo:
Go to topNEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A6568B SPONSOR: McDonald
  TITLE OF BILL: An act in relation to establishing the New York state organized retail crime task force; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To create an organized retail crime task force that will review current laws and provide legislative and regulatory recommendations to help prevent such crime, enhance consumer protections and address the econom- ic impact in New York State.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1. Creation of the task force; Section 2. Fifteen, members including: Eight members appointed by the governor, six without recommendation including one member of law enforcement; one member appointed by the governor upon the recommenda- tion of the Retail Council; one member appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union; two members appointed by the majority leader of the Senate; two members appointed by the speaker of the Assembly; one member appointed by the minority leader of the Senate; one member appointed by the minority leader of the Assembly; and one member appointed by the attorney gener- al; Section 3. Requires the task force to submit a report to the governor, Legislature, and attorney general; Section 4. Effective Date.   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSIONS: Amendments to add minority leadership appointments to the task force and adjust the appointment structure.   JUSTIFICATION: Organized retail crime is estimated to be a $100 billion problem for the retail industry in the United States, according to the 2022 Retail Secu- rity Survey. Retailers, on average, experienced a 26.596 increase in organized retail crime incidents from 2021 to 2022. Most importantly, eight in ten retailers reported that violence and aggression associated with organized retail crime increased in 2021. This trajectory cannot continue and a resolution is critical. This legislation will empower a task force to provide independent and expert opinion on the most effec- tive ways for the state to combat organized retail crime activity in stores and local communities. In order to address this complex problem, it is necessary to formalize collaboration among all stakeholders - law enforcement, prosecutors, retailers and retail employee advocates. Many other states, including New Jersey, have created a task force to research and explore solutions to reduce organized retail crime. It is important to stop organized retail crime and protect businesses, employ- ees and consumers.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2022: A.6790 (Cusick) / S.3742 (Gaughran) 2020: A.8380 Referred to governmental Operations / S.5643 Referred to crime victims, crime and correction   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
