Puerto Rico Postal Equity Act of 2025
HR 6441, the Puerto Rico Postal Equity Act of 2025, requires the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to improve address recognition and delivery accuracy for Puerto Rico within 180 days of enactment. It mandates updating USPS systems to properly handle Spanish diacritical marks (like accents in names and place names), using existing USPS data to identify persistent delivery issues, and consulting with Puerto Rico's government and the Census Bureau. The bill directly affects Puerto Rico residents and businesses by reducing mail delivery errors caused by inconsistent address formatting. USPS must report annual progress on these improvements for three years, using existing funding without new appropriations.
