To require the United States Postal Service to notify postal customers and relevant officials when operations are temporarily suspended at a post office, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the United States Postal Service (USPS) to notify postal customers and specific government officials when a post office temporarily suspends operations. It mandates detailed advance notice (60 days for planned closures) including reasons, expected dates, and plans for replacement services, with shorter notices (14 days) for unplanned closures. USPS must provide replacement retail services - such as selling packaging, handling mail for post office boxes, and processing address changes - within 10 days and maintain them until operations resume. The law applies only to closures starting after enactment and targets USPS operations affecting local communities and their federal/state representatives.
