Bipartisan lawmakers in both the House and Senate introduced The Household Goods and Shipping Consumer Protection Act (H.R. 880 and S. 337) to enhance federal powers to prevent cargo and strategic theft. The legislation supports all brokers and carriers (not just household goods) by enabling or requiring the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to do the following:
- Assess civil penalties for unauthorized brokerage activities.
- Enforce regulations requiring companies to maintain a physical business address.
- Examine commonalities among companies registering for operating authority.
Providing the FMCSA and law enforcement with these tools is crucial, as the impact on our national security, supply chain, jobs and consumer costs grows while cargo and strategic theft go unchecked.
Tell your members of Congress to support H.R. 880 and S. 337 to strengthen the federal government’s ability to combat cargo and strategic theft!
