POSTAL Act

S 4160, the POSTAL Act, prohibits the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from closing, consolidating, or otherwise eliminating processing and distribution centers in any state if the action would result in that state having no such facility or negatively impact mail delivery. This directly affects USPS operations and residents in states where mail processing centers might otherwise be closed or merged. The bill restricts the USPS from taking actions that would remove all processing centers from a state or disrupt local mail service delivery. It applies to specific facilities defined as central mail handling centers that distribute mail for designated service areas.
