## Summary

**Public notice and local review for emergency post office suspensions.** This bill would require the Postal Service to follow clear notice, review, and relocation steps when a post office temporarily suspends operations because of an emergency. - Families and residents: Residents would see a sign at the post office and a notice on the Postal Service website on day 1. If a suspension reaches 30 days they could submit comments during a 30-day public review. - Local officials and lawmakers: Each affected Member of the House, each Senator for the State, and the head of each local government unit must be notified within 5 days. Local leaders must be solicited for input on relocations and given a 30-day comment period on proposed new sites. - Postal Service operations: The Postmaster General, working with local postmasters, would be required to create an emergency action plan. If a suspension lasts 60 days the Postal Regulatory Commission must review the case and the Postal Service must begin relocation consistent with existing rules. - Transparency and reporting: Beginning January 1, 2026 and each year after, the Postal Service must report to Congress every emergency suspension with the post office location, duration, and reason.
