AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Upholding a Secure Postal System Act" or the "USPS Act", requires the Comptroller General (the head of the Government Accountability Office) to conduct and submit annual investigations and reports to Congress for a period of five years, focusing on nationwide issues related to postal services. Specifically, the reports must cover investigations into theft of mail, mail delivery delays, misconduct by US Postal Service employees (as investigated by the Office of the Inspector General), criminal and civil violations under the Postal Inspection Service's jurisdiction, and instances of theft or vandalism of Postal Service property. Each report must not only describe the findings of these investigations but also outline the current measures the Postal Service has implemented to address such violations and provide recommendations for how both the Postal Service and Congress can work to combat these issues. In preparing these reports, the Comptroller General is required to consult with the Inspector General of the Postal Service and the Postal Inspection Service to ensure comprehensive and accurate information.
