AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the U.S. Postal Service, within 180 days, to set up and publish a process for State, local, and Tribal governments to request changes to ZIP code boundaries or new ZIP codes. The Postal Service would have to weigh effects on mail operations, its costs, and future address changes, give a written reason for any denial, name a contact person, and allow one appeal within 45 days. Identical requests could not be resubmitted for 5 years after a denial, but governments denied in the past 10 years could resubmit. The bill also creates a 7-year pilot program letting governments pay some or all of the Postal Service's net costs for a change, and requires the Postal Service to accept such payment and grant the request when cost was the only reason for denial.
