Bill > S3260

This bill seeks to eliminate the reduced postal rates currently available to qualified political committees, effectively ending what some refer to as "subsidized political junk mail." Specifically, the legislation would repeal subsection (e) of Section 3626 in Title 39 of the United States Code, which governs the special postage rates for political organizations. The bill involves several technical amendments to renumber and adjust references within the existing law, including redesignating subsequent subsections to maintain the proper legal structure after removing the subsection about reduced political committee postage rates. By removing this provision, political committees would be required to pay standard postal rates for their mailings, potentially increasing their communication costs and making mass political mailings more expensive. The bill's short title, the "Ending Subsidies for Political Junk Mail Act," reflects its intent to eliminate what the sponsors view as an unnecessary financial benefit for political organizations.
