Mandating Quick Reconstruction and Restoration of Rural Post Offices within 90 Days.
This law requires the Postal Service to quickly rebuild damaged rural post offices or secure new leases for suspended ones. The goal is to ensure rural residents maintain access to vital services like medical deliveries and financial disbursements, especially in areas lacking high-speed internet. The Postal Service must act within 90 days of damage or suspension, safeguarding service continuity for local communities.
Key points
The Postal Service must begin reconstructing a damaged rural post office within 90 days of it becoming inoperable, provided no alternate suitable quarters exist.
If a rural post office closes due to a terminated lease, the Postal Service must secure a suitable replacement location within 90 days to restore operations.
These requirements apply retroactively to offices damaged or suspended up to two years before the law's enactment.
Failure to meet the 90-day deadline requires the Postmaster General to report to Congress detailing remediation efforts for affected citizens.
