A bill to require the United States Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for particular communities, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the U.S. Postal Service to assign a single, unique ZIP Code to six specific Florida communities - Ocoee, Miami Lakes, Oakland, Village of Estero, The Villages, and Hollywood - within 270 days of enactment. It also mandates adjusting ZIP Code boundaries so that areas in Fort Myers currently under ZIP Code 33971 are moved into ZIP Code 33905. The law directly affects residents and businesses in these communities by standardizing postal routing. The changes aim to improve mail delivery accuracy and efficiency for these specific locations.
