Bill > S155

This bill establishes new requirements for the United States Postal Service (USPS) regarding the relocation and establishment of post offices. It defines key terms like "post office" (which includes various types of facilities managed by a Postmaster) and "temporary relocation" (a short-term move of postal services). The bill mandates that USPS create a formal process within 90 days for local government officials to request new post offices. For temporary relocations lasting more than two days, USPS must collect and consider community input, notify local elected officials at least 30 days in advance with a written proposal, provide public notice 15 days before the relocation, and hold a public presentation. The Postal Service must also submit periodic updates to local government officials every 60 days during the relocation. For temporary relocations lasting over 180 days, USPS must submit a report to specific congressional committees and local congressional representatives explaining the relocation, whether communication requirements were met, and reasons for any extensions. The bill aims to improve transparency and community engagement in postal service facility changes.
