USPS Stop and Study Act: Protecting Mail Delivery from Service Cuts.

This law requires the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to pause major network changes, like facility closures or consolidation, until an independent regulatory commission reviews the plan. The goal is to protect citizens from sudden service degradation and mail delays caused by restructuring. If the commission finds the changes will negatively impact service, USPS is prohibited from implementing them.
Key points
USPS must get an advisory opinion from the independent Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) before consolidating facilities or reducing transportation routes.
Network changes are prohibited if the Commission finds they are likely to negatively impact the speed and reliability of mail delivery for citizens.
Requires a review of whether network changes implemented since January 2023 should be reversed.
