Postal Service Reform Act
H.R. 3076 is a bipartisan compromise bill carefully constructed to allow the Postal Service to achieve financial stability. This legislation was voted unanimously by the Oversight and Reform Committee, and now it is getting its chance on the House floor. H.R 3076 includes many provisions the NRLCA has been advocating for years. It repeals the onerous pre-funding mandate, a mandate no other agency or corporation is required to prefund. The legislation also codifies six-day mail delivery into law. Six-day service is critically important and a competitive advantage for the Postal Service, especially in rural areas where rural letter carriers deliver the “last mile.” Finally, H.R. 3076 adopts private sector best practices by maximizing the integration of postal employees and retirees into Medicare. Specifically, be sure to reach out to Rep. Jim Banks (IN-3) , as he has been a little shaky on the bill. Can you please be sure to get members of the IN board, and anyone else you possibly can to contact his office and urge him to vote YES on this bill? Congressman Banks' Washington Office: (202) 225-4436
