Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to modify the role and duties of United States Postal Service police officers, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Postal Police Reform Act of 2025, modifies the role and duties of United States Postal Service (USPS) police officers by making several key changes to existing law. The bill amends Section 3061 of Title 18 of the United States Code to explicitly include Postal Service police officers alongside Postal Inspectors and other agents when referring to law enforcement personnel. Additionally, the bill expands the Postmaster General's authority to create and enforce regulations for protecting USPS-owned or controlled property. Under the new provisions, the Postmaster General can establish rules for property protection and administration, with specific guidelines for penalties. Violations of these regulations could result in fines, imprisonment for up to 30 days, or both, and the regulations must be visibly posted on the property. This legislation aims to clarify and strengthen the legal framework governing USPS police officers and property management, providing more explicit guidelines for their responsibilities and enforcement capabilities.
