AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar the Postal Service Board of Governors from approving any bonus, award, or other pay beyond basic pay for the Postmaster General or Deputy Postmaster General for certain fiscal years. The ban would apply in any year when the Postal Service does not reach 95 percent on-time delivery for each delivery target set for its market-dominant products, such as First-Class Mail. It would also apply in any year when the Postal Service runs a larger deficit than the year before, or runs a deficit after having a surplus the year before. The bill would also require a specific Postal Service report to be submitted to the Postal Regulatory Commission.
