Bill Summary
A BILL To require on-time delivery of periodicals to unlock additional rate authority, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Deliver for Democracy Act, aims to improve the on-time delivery performance of periodicals by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The key provisions include:
1. The Postal Regulatory Commission must amend regulations to prohibit the USPS from receiving additional rate authority for periodicals in a fiscal year unless it achieves either a 95% on-time delivery performance for periodicals or an increase of at least 2 percentage points in on-time delivery performance compared to the previous year.
2. The Postmaster General must submit annual reports on the USPS's progress in including on-time performance data for in-county and out-of-county newspaper mail in its periodicals service performance measurements, until the Postal Regulatory Commission determines that the USPS has incorporated these mail categories into its existing service performance measurements.
3. The Comptroller General of the United States must conduct a study on alternative pricing schemes and other options to improve the financial position of periodicals and other products that do not cover their costs, and submit a report to Congress within two years.
