Introduced: Mar 27, 2025
Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

H.R. 2430, introduced in the 119th Congress by Mr. Gill of Texas, would direct the United States Postal Service (USPS) to designate a single, unique ZIP Code that applies only to the area of Northlake, Texas. The bill requires USPS to implement this change within 270 days after the section becomes law. In practical terms, Northlake would receive an exclusive ZIP Code that covers solely that municipality, helping to separate its mail routing and address data from neighboring areas. The bill does not authorize any funding or specify how costs would be covered. It is a straightforward administrative directive aimed at adjusting the ZIP Code mapping for Northlake, with potential effects on mail delivery, address databases, and data used by federal, state, and local agencies.
