AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to keep selling the Alzheimer's semipostal stamp for six more years, starting on the date sales would otherwise have ended. A semipostal stamp costs more than regular postage, and the extra money goes to a cause. The money raised from this stamp would be sent to the National Institutes of Health for Alzheimer's disease medical research, with payments made at least twice a year. During the six years, the stamp would be treated as issued under this law, so it would not count against limits on how many semipostal stamps can be sold at the same time.
