Bill > HR1310

This bill, called the Postal Operations Stay Timely And Local Act (POSTAL Act), aims to prevent the United States Postal Service (USPS) from closing or consolidating processing and distribution centers in a way that would eliminate all such centers within a state. Specifically, the bill prohibits USPS from closing, consolidating, or downgrading a processing and distribution center if doing so would result in no such center remaining in that state. The bill defines a "processing and distribution center" as a central mail facility responsible for distributing and dispatching incoming and outgoing mail for a designated service area, providing mailing instructions, and serving as a sectional center, general mail facility, or dedicated mail processing facility. The term "state" includes all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The goal of this legislation appears to be preserving local mail processing infrastructure and ensuring that each state maintains at least one processing and distribution center to support efficient mail operations.
