HR 1225119th CongressIn Committee

To direct the United States Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for Eastvale, California.

Introduced: Feb 12, 2025

Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

H.R. 1225, introduced in the 119th Congress, would direct the United States Postal Service (USPS) to designate a single, unique ZIP Code that applies only to Eastvale, California. The bill requires USPS to complete this designation no later than 180 days after the date of enactment. In effect, if enacted, Eastvale would have its own ZIP Code that covers only Eastvale, rather than sharing a ZIP Code area with other communities. The measure does not provide funding, specify a ZIP Code number, or outline a transition plan, and it places a directive on USPS rather than creating new federal spending.

Key Points

1Requires USPS to designate a single, unique ZIP Code exclusively for Eastvale, California.
2The designation must be completed within 180 days after enactment.
3The ZIP Code would apply to the area “encompassing solely Eastvale,” implying no other communities would share that ZIP Code.
4The bill provides no funding or cost authorizations to USPS for implementing the change.
5The bill is a straightforward directive to USPS, introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Impact Areas

Primary: Eastvale residents and businesses, who would receive a distinct ZIP Code for mail delivery and address identification.Secondary: United States Postal Service operations (mail sorting, routing, and address databases) and local government/cervices that rely on ZIP Code data for planning, emergency services, and governance.Additional impacts: Banks, utilities, insurers, and other entities that use ZIP Codes for billing, service provision, credit reporting, and demographic analyses would need to update records and systems to reflect the new Eastvale-only ZIP Code; potential transitional issues include updating address databases, maps, and emergency-response addressing systems.
