Bill > HR1580

This bill amends section 3001 of title 39 of the United States Code to establish new requirements for mail solicitations. Specifically, the bill mandates that any mail matter that is a solicitation for goods or services must clearly and conspicuously display the phrase "This is a solicitation" on its face, or an equivalent notice as prescribed by the Postal Service. If such solicitations do not include this clear identification, they will be considered non-mailable and will not be delivered by the postal service. The Postal Service is given the authority to develop regulations about how this notice should be displayed, including requirements for typography, layout, and color to ensure the notice stands out from other printed material on the document. The bill includes an exception for certain types of mail described in an existing subsection (d), which would be exempt from these new identification requirements. The overall purpose appears to be increasing transparency for mail recipients by ensuring they can quickly and easily identify unsolicited commercial communications.
