Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would primarily impact individuals and criminal organizations engaged in the theft and resale of stolen goods, as well as online marketplaces that facilitate the sale of such merchandise. Retailers, consumers, and law enforcement agencies would also benefit from the disruption of these illicit supply chains.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: S 3137 has been referred to the Senate Codes Committee for further consideration. If the committee approves the bill, it would then need to pass the full Senate and be reconciled with any similar legislation in the House before being sent to the President for signature.
