The U.S. Postal Service opposes two House bills that propose to add 76 new ZIP codes across the country, citing a financial burden and harm to mail delivery service.
On Monday, H.R. 672, proposed by Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL), and H.R. 3095, proposed by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), passed. These two pieces of legislation, cosponsored by members across the aisle, hope to add new ZIP codes to assist smaller communities with faster mail times, first responder responses, and increased sales taxes.
Díaz-Balart’s legislation passed by voice vote, and Boebert’s passed by a 278-121 vote. In the bills, USPS is designated to implement the new postal codes. However, the agency told the Washington Examiner that it opposes the legislation.
