Mobile Post Office Relief Act

HR 287, the Mobile Post Office Relief Act, requires the U.S. Postal Service to deploy mobile retail units to provide essential services when specific post offices temporarily close. It directly affects residents in areas where a post office meets the definition of a "covered postal retail facility" - meaning it’s temporarily closed, located at least half a mile from other offices, and hasn’t provided retail services for 60 days. The mobile units must offer basic services like selling packaging, accessing post office boxes, and processing address changes within three business days of closure, continuing until the physical office reopens. The bill applies immediately to existing closures, with the Postal Service required to activate mobile units within 30 days of enactment.
