Introduced·1/28/25

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should ensure the United States Postal Service remains independent and not subject.

The bill expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should take all appropriate measures to ensure that the United States Postal Service remains an independent establishment of the Federal Government and is not subject to privatization. It highlights the USPS's role in serving over 168 million addresses daily, employing nearly 73,000 military veterans, and being a self-sustaining entity that does not rely on taxpayer funding. The bill argues that privatization would lead to higher prices, reduced services, and jeopardize the e-commerce sector and critical infrastructure.
