Bill Summary
A BILL To provide for the issuance of a semipostal to benefit programs that combat invasive species.
AI Summary
This bill aims to create a special postage stamp (called a semipostal stamp) to help fund efforts to combat invasive species in the United States. Recognizing that invasive species pose serious threats to natural ecosystems, native wildlife, and local economies, the bill directs the United States Postal Service to issue a "Combating Invasive Species Semipostal Stamp" that will cost slightly more than a standard postage stamp, with the price difference being donated to invasive species programs at the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture. The stamp will be available to the public for two years, with the price markup not exceeding 25 percent above the standard postage rate. The funds raised will be equally divided between the two departments to support their invasive species combat programs, with transfers occurring at least twice a year. This approach provides a convenient way for citizens to contribute to environmental conservation efforts by simply purchasing a special postage stamp when sending mail.
