Contract Postal Unit Transparency Act

This bill changes the steps the U.S. Postal Service must take before closing or combining a contract postal unit. Starting 6 months after the law takes effect, the Postal Service would have to post a public report online on how a closure would affect customers and how it will keep postal services available. It would also have to send Congress a report on the reasons for the closure and hold a public hearing that people can attend in person or online. Within 7 days of the hearing, it would post a summary of public comments, including the share for and against. The unit could not close until at least 180 days after that summary is posted.
