Bill overview
This bill directs the United States Postal Service (USPS) to conduct a study on the feasibility of creating a program that sends electronic alerts to customers about potential mail delivery delays due to weather or natural disasters. The study will examine how to expand customer enrollment in the USPS’s Informed Delivery platform and determine the best methods for delivering these notifications, including information about office closures and safety precautions. If the study finds the program feasible, the USPS can then implement it.
