Summary of Bill S 384

Bill 112 s 384, also known as the Breast Cancer Research Semipostal Stamp Reauthorization Act, is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to amend title 39 of the United States Code. The bill seeks to extend the authority of the United States Postal Service to issue a semipostal stamp in order to raise funds for breast cancer research.

Semipostal stamps are special stamps that are sold at a price higher than the standard postage rate, with the additional funds raised going towards a specific cause. In this case, the funds raised from the sale of the breast cancer research semipostal stamp would be used to support research efforts aimed at finding a cure for breast cancer.

The bill is designed to continue the successful program that was initially authorized in 1997, which has raised millions of dollars for breast cancer research over the years. By extending the authority of the Postal Service to issue the semipostal stamp, the bill aims to ensure that this important source of funding for breast cancer research continues to be available. Overall, Bill 112 s 384 is a bipartisan effort to support breast cancer research by allowing the Postal Service to issue a semipostal stamp dedicated to this cause. The bill has the potential to make a significant impact in the fight against breast cancer by providing much-needed funding for research efforts.
