Postmaster General Reform Act of 2024
This bill changes how the Postmaster General is appointed and serves. It requires the President to nominate the Postmaster General with Senate confirmation, replaces the current appointment process, and sets a 5-year term with a possible single 5-year renewal. The Postmaster General becomes a voting member of the Board of Governors and will have their pay and term set by the Board. These changes apply to future appointments starting after the bill's enactment.
