**Requires Postal Regulatory Commission advisory opinions for major postal service changes.** This bill would force the Postal Service to submit any proposed change that affects service nationwide, substantially nationwide, or significantly within a postal district at least 180 days before the planned effective date and bar the Service from acting or spending funds until the Commission issues its opinion. - Households and mail users would see service levels returned to and kept at the pre-change level if the Commission suspends an implementation, protecting existing mail service while the review proceeds. - The Postal Service would have to seek a PRC advisory opinion at least 180 days before major changes and could not obligate funds or implement the change until that opinion is issued. - The Postal Regulatory Commission would have 180 days to issue an advisory opinion after receiving a proposal and could suspend implementation for failures to seek the opinion. Congress would have a 60 legislative day window to consider a specially defined joint resolution to disapprove the proposal.
