Retailers throughout the state are extremely disappointed to learn that Governor Hochul vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have established the New York State Organized Retail Crime Task Force," Melissa O'Connor, the president and CEO of the Retail Council of New York State, wrote in a statement.
O'Connor's organization highlighted state retailers' self-reported loss of $4.4 billion to shoplifting in 2022 as reason to form the task force.
"I am disappointed the governor did not sign this legislation," Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon, D-Marcy, said.
