HR 3011 United States House · 119th Congress

United States Postal Service Shipping Equity Act

HR 3011 allows the U.S. Postal Service to mail alcoholic beverages under specific conditions, primarily affecting licensed alcohol businesses (like wineries, breweries, and retailers) that register with the USPS. The bill requires shipments to be for personal use only (not resale), include age verification (21+ with ID), and comply with state delivery rules. It explicitly states that state, local, or tribal laws prohibiting alcohol shipments remain in effect and cannot be overridden by this federal law. The USPS must create regulations to implement these rules, and states can sue the USPS for violations under local alcohol laws.
