To direct the United States Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for Fairlawn, Virginia, and for other purposes.
HR 279 directs the U.S. Postal Service to assign Fairlawn, Virginia (an unincorporated community in Pulaski County) a unique ZIP Code separate from Radford, Virginia. This change addresses a specific issue where Fairlawn's electronic commerce sales tax revenue is misallocated to Radford due to their shared ZIP Code. The bill requires the USPS to complete this designation within 180 days of enactment. The direct effect is ensuring Fairlawn receives its proper share of sales tax revenue, resolving a technical mismatch in the postal system that impacts local tax distribution.
