Boston Retailers Push Bill to Crack Down on Organized
Crime.
Retailers in Massachusetts have been trying to get a
bill passed that would crack down on organized retail
crime since 2007. Ryan Kearney, general counsel for the
Retailers Association of Massachusetts, says the latest
version of the bill has been slimmed down, including a
proposed ban on the sale of certain items in flea
markets and a proposed mandate for additional
recordkeeping at the state Department of Revenue. The
legislation, if signed into law, would strengthen the
penalties for shoplifters if their actions are part of a
broader, orchestrated effort. The bill would also turn
several theft-related actions into crimes. It would
impose criminal sanctions for people found guilty of
using a device to block or deactivate theft-protection
devices, shoplifters who use an emergency exit to avoid
apprehension, and individuals who use counterfeit
receipts or fake Universal Product Codes to cheat or
defraud a merchant.
