Deliver for Democracy Act
This bill requires the Postal Regulatory Commission to block any new periodical mail rate increases unless the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) meets strict on-time delivery targets for periodicals (like newspapers). Specifically, USPS must achieve either 95% on-time delivery or a 2-point improvement over its best prior year’s performance. It also mandates annual public reports from the Postmaster General tracking periodical delivery performance (including in-county/out-of-county newspaper mail), with flexibility if data collection proves impractical. Additionally, the bill directs the GAO to study alternative pricing models to improve financial outcomes for USPS services that don’t cover their costs.
