HR 3119 United States House · 118th Congress

To provide for the issuance of a Manatee Semipostal Stamp.

HR 3119 directs the U.S. Postal Service to issue a special Manatee Semipostal Stamp, where the extra cost beyond standard postage (e.g., $0.60 instead of $0.58) funds manatee conservation. All revenue from stamp sales will go directly to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect manatees and their habitat, with these funds explicitly excluded from affecting the agency’s overall federal budget. The stamp would be available for sale for at least two years starting within one year of the bill’s enactment. This bill affects stamp buyers and provides dedicated funding for manatee conservation efforts.
