SALEM Ore. (KPTV) - Oregon lawmakers will be holding a public hearing Wednesday for two bills aimed at curtailing organized retail crimes across the state. Senate bills 318 and 340 were put forth this legislative session; one aims at providing more funding increased enforcement and better communication between Oregon's Department of Justice, local police departments, and retailers. The other changes Oregon's current criminal code, and if passed, would make it easier to prosecute criminal organizations involved in organized retail theft.
