Protect Postal Performance Act

Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Bill 119 HR 2103, also known as the "Postal Service Reform Act of 2021," aims to change the way the United States Postal Service (USPS) goes about closing or consolidating post offices and processing centers. The bill seeks to make the process more transparent and accountable to the public.

Under the proposed legislation, the USPS would be required to provide advance notice to the affected communities before closing or consolidating any post office or processing center. This notice would include information on the reasons for the closure or consolidation, as well as the potential impact on the local community.

Additionally, the bill would establish a process for the public to provide feedback and input on proposed closures or consolidations. This would give community members the opportunity to voice their concerns and suggest alternatives to the USPS. Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to ensure that any closures or consolidations are done in a way that minimizes disruption to mail delivery and postal services. It also requires the USPS to consider the impact on employees and provide assistance to those affected by closures or consolidations. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2103 aims to make the process of closing or consolidating post offices and processing centers more transparent, accountable, and community-focused. It seeks to balance the needs of the USPS with the concerns of the public and ensure that any changes are made in a responsible and thoughtful manner.
