“The INFORM Consumers Act is a bipartisan, common-sense solution to a growing problem impacting consumers, businesses, and communities across the U.S. The flood of stolen and counterfeit goods being sold anonymously on third-party marketplaces harms American consumers, hinders economic growth, and hurts U.S. businesses large and small.
“Including this legislation within the 2023 NDAA is a win for transparency and accountability and is a crucial step in curbing the growth of organized retail crime. We appreciate Senators Dick Durbin and Bill Cassidy for their bipartisan commitment to tackling this problem and we encourage lawmakers to use this opportunity to make INFORM a reality.”
