To direct the United States Postal Service to designate single, unique ZIP Codes for certain communities, and for other purposes.
This bill would require the United States Postal Service (USPS) to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for each of 66 named communities across multiple states (including California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Ohio). The designation must be completed within 270 days after the law is enacted. The list includes a mix of incorporated towns, cities, university campuses, and planned communities. The bill’s text does not specify funding or any changes to postal rates; it focuses on creating distinct ZIP Codes for these communities to presumably improve mail routing and local identification. The House of Representatives has indicated passage of the bill, and it is referred to the Senate for consideration. If enacted, USPS would implement new, unique ZIP Codes for each listed community within the 270-day deadline.
