Bill > S4356

This bill, the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act of 2024, is designed to improve security measures for United States Postal Service (USPS) letter carriers. The key provisions of the bill include: authorizing $1.4 billion in annual funding from 2025 to 2029 to install high-security collection boxes and replace older versions of the universal mailbox key with electronic versions; requiring the Attorney General to appoint an assistant U.S. attorney in each judicial district to coordinate and supervise the investigation and prosecution of offenses committed against USPS employees; and directing the U.S. Sentencing Commission to treat the assault or robbery of a postal employee in the same manner as the assault of a law enforcement officer.
