HR 1310 United States House · 119th Congress

POSTAL Act

This bill prohibits the U.S. Postal Service from closing, consolidating, or taking similar action on any processing and distribution center in a state if the action would leave that state with no such centers. It directly affects all 50 states and the District of Columbia by preventing the elimination of all postal processing facilities within any state. The key provision (Section 2(a)) explicitly blocks actions that would result in a state having zero processing centers, using defined terms to clarify that "processing and distribution centers" include specific facility types like sectional center facilities. The law aims to maintain local postal infrastructure without altering service standards or funding.
