Deliver for Democracy Act
This bill requires the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to meet specific on-time delivery targets for periodicals (like newspapers) to qualify for future rate increases. If USPS doesn’t achieve a 95% on-time delivery rate or a 2-point improvement over its best prior year, the Postal Regulatory Commission must block rate hikes for periodicals. It also mandates annual public reports from USPS tracking newspaper delivery performance by location, with provisions for handling data limitations. Additionally, the bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study financial solutions for underfunded postal services like periodicals and report back within two years.
