H.R. 3095 · Government Operations and Politics
To direct the United States Postal Service to designate single, unique ZIP Codes for certain communities, and for other purposes.
Introduced Apr 30, 2025 · Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
What does this mean?

This bill orders the U.S. Postal Service — the government agency that delivers mail and assigns the ZIP codes that identify mailing areas — to give each of 74 named towns and communities its own separate ZIP code. Right now, these places likely share a ZIP code with a neighboring town or city, which can cause their mail, packages, and even their official address to be listed under a different community's name. If this becomes law, residents in these specific towns (located in states from California to Wisconsin to Louisiana) would get an address that clearly shows their own town's name instead of a neighboring one.
