To direct the United States Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for Fairlawn, Virginia, and for other purposes.

Sponsored By: Representative Griffith, H. Morgan [R-VA-9]

Introduced

Summary

Creates a single, unique ZIP Code for Fairlawn, Virginia. The bill notes that Virginia's independent cities are separate from surrounding counties and that Fairlawn, an unincorporated community in Pulaski County, often has e-commerce sales tax misallocated to the nearby independent city of Radford because they share ZIP Codes. It would direct the United States Postal Service to assign a unique ZIP Code for Fairlawn within 180 days to address that misallocation for tax purposes.
