Assemblymember Juan Alanis’ bill to provide additional resources and equipment to jurisdictions identified with high levels of cargo theft, through the California Organized Retail Crime Task Force, was signed into law by Governor Newsom on Friday. The bill went into immediate effect upon the Governor’s signature.
“I’m proud of the work my team and I have done to build consensus around a solution to an issue that has continued to decimate our communities,” said Assemblymember Alanis. “As part of the larger bipartisan legislative retail theft package, AB 1972 moves the needle toward protecting our businesses and the critical shipping routes they depend on.”
