Bill overview
This bill, the USPS Subpoena Authority Act, expands the ability of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to obtain information through subpoenas. It allows the Postmaster General, and now the Chief Postal Inspector, to issue subpoenas to investigate a wider range of violations involving the mail, including those related to controlled substances and hazardous materials. The bill aims to strengthen the USPS’s capacity to enforce laws related to mail usage and ensure compliance. This will help the USPS investigate and address illegal activities that utilize the postal system.
