Bill > S4254

This bill, the Protecting Access to Rural Carriers for Every Location (PARCEL) Act, aims to limit the closure or consolidation of United States Postal Service (USPS) processing and distribution centers in states. Specifically, the bill prohibits the USPS from closing, consolidating, downgrading, or taking any similar action that would result in the relocation of processing operations outside the boundaries of a state or the degradation of local mail delivery. Additionally, the USPS must complete a review of the anticipated impact of geographical considerations, such as mountain passes, on mail delivery and address any issues raised by the review before moving forward with any decision to close, consolidate, or downgrade a processing and distribution center.
