From the meeting
Michigan amended the Organized Retail Crime Act to add gift card fraud as organized retail crime. The law took effect on 2026-10-06 and the act says it takes effect 90 days after enactment, with the chaptered text showing an effective date of 2027-01-03. The change can drive more arrests, prosecutions, jail, probation, and court workload for state and local agencies.
Sellers tied to fraud detection, investigations, case management, and retail loss prevention should track the enforcement response.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
