Federal SB463 aims to protect postal workers from violence and enhance security measures.

Federal SB463, the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act of 2025, emphasizes the need to safeguard United States Postal Service letter carriers from violence. It calls for the Attorney General to prosecute assaults against postal employees vigorously. The bill authorizes $1.4 billion annually from 2025 to 2029 for the USPS to install high-security collection boxes and replace older mailbox keys with electronic versions. It also mandates the United States Sentencing Commission to update guidelines to treat assaults or robberies of postal employees similarly to assaults on law enforcement officers.
