Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signs legislation establishing the Organized Retail Crime Act  To protect consumers by cracking down on the increasing prevalence of retail fraud. The governor called for the legislation in his special message on public safety. House Bills 5843 and 5902, sponsored by state Rep. Joe Graves, would make it a felony punishable by up to five years' imprisonment if a person is found guilty of knowingly committing organized retail crime. This includes the theft of retail merchandise with the intent or purpose of reselling, distributing, or transferring the stolen retail merchandise to another retail merchant or to any other person personally, through the mail, or through any electronic medium, including the internet, in exchange for anything of value. The measures are now Public Acts 455 and 456 of 2012. (Source tctimes.com)
