Bill overview
This bill would give states the authority to choose the names of post offices located within their borders. States would need to pass legislation to exercise this power, but there are limitations, particularly regarding federally named post offices. The federal government retains the authority to name post offices, and its selections would override any state-chosen names. This bill aims to provide states with a greater degree of local control over their postal infrastructure.
