Bill > HR704

This bill directs the United States Postal Service to issue a special Manatee Semipostal Stamp, which is a type of postage stamp sold at a price higher than the standard first-class postage rate, with the additional cost dedicated to a specific cause. In this case, the proceeds from the sale of the Manatee Semipostal Stamp will be transferred to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service specifically for manatee conservation efforts, including protecting manatees and their habitats in the United States. The stamp will be available to the public for a minimum of two years, with sales beginning no later than 12 months after the bill's enactment. The issuance and sale of the stamp will follow the existing regulations outlined in section 416 of title 39 of the United States Code, which governs the creation and management of semipostal stamps. The bill aims to raise awareness and funds for manatee conservation through this special postage stamp.
