Silver Cliff Community Act
This bill, the Silver Cliff Community Act, would require the United States Postal Service (USPS) to assign a single, unique ZIP Code for Silver Cliff, Colorado. Not later than 180 days after the bill becomes law, USPS must designate ZIP Code 81249 as the sole ZIP Code for the area encompassing Silver Cliff. The act names the measure and sets a firm deadline for implementation, but it does not authorize funding or create new programs beyond directing USPS to adjust its ZIP Code designation and related addressing records. The bill was introduced in the House by Representatives Pettersen and Boebert and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It is a straightforward administrative directive aimed at creating a distinct, community-specific ZIP Code for Silver Cliff.
