Safeguarding Our Supply Chains Act

This bill establishes a Supply Chain Fraud and Theft Task Force to address organized crime targeting U.S. supply chains. Sec. 2, Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center: The Secretary of Homeland Security, through Homeland Security Investigations, must set up a Coordination Center within the agency's Innovation Lab to collect and analyze data on supply chain fraud and theft, and identify high-crime regions, transportation modes, distribution networks, and retail stores. The Secretary must consult with other federal agencies, law enforcement at all levels, and the private sector. Sec. 3, Supply Chain Fraud and Theft Task Force: Within 120 days of enactment, the Secretary, with the Attorney General and FBI Director, must establish a Task Force to address fraud and theft across rail, motor carrier, and intermodal systems, and to detect and deter organized theft groups. Its purposes include facilitating law enforcement collaboration, enhancing information-sharing, tracking organized crime trends, building private-sector relationships, and creating a secure information-sharing system. The Task Force includes personnel from ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, Postal Inspection Service, CBP, other DHS and DOJ personnel, state, local, tribal, and foreign law enforcement, railroad police, and Army cargo-focused personnel. The Secretary may deploy the Task Force where needed, considering Coordination Center data, high-crime areas, resource availability, and existing initiatives. The Task Force must ensure a coordinated, multi-agency, intelligence-based approach to dismantle organizations responsible for organized theft, fraud, and violence. The Secretary may provide financial assistance for participation. Within 180 days of establishment and annually for five years, the Secretary must report to Congress on the Task Force's effectiveness, measured by crime statistics from the Coordination Center. $100,000,000 is authorized for fiscal years 2025 through 2029.
