Bill Summary
A bill to direct the United States Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for Fairlawn, Virginia, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill directs the United States Postal Service (USPS) to create a unique ZIP Code specifically for Fairlawn, Virginia within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The bill highlights several unique characteristics of Virginia's local government structure, noting that it is the only state where cities are independent from surrounding counties, which affects how taxes and revenues are collected and distributed. Currently, Fairlawn, an unincorporated community located in Pulaski County, shares a ZIP Code with the independent city of Radford, which leads to complications in sales tax allocation for electronic commerce. By establishing a distinct ZIP Code for Fairlawn, the bill aims to ensure more accurate tax revenue attribution and better reflect the community's separate identity. The legislation emphasizes the need for precise geographic identification to resolve tax collection and distribution challenges specific to Virginia's distinctive municipal organization.
