Easy Access to Mail Act
This bill prohibits the U.S. Postal Service from switching mail delivery to a centralized system (where mail is collected at one location for multiple homes) in single-family homes or townhouses without approval. It prevents retroactive changes to delivery methods for existing housing developments and requires local government approval plus a 60-day public comment period before implementing centralized delivery in new housing. The bill explicitly excludes apartment or condominium buildings from these rules. Additionally, it directs the Postal Regulatory Commission to ensure Postal Service policies do not disproportionately harm rural, low-income, elderly, disabled, or minority communities.
