Plain Language Summary

# Summary of HR 1009 **What the Bill Does** This bill would officially rename the post office located at 86 Main Street in Haverstraw, New York to the "Paul Piperato Post Office Building." This is a naming designation only—it doesn't change how the post office operates or affect its services. Such bills are common in Congress as a way to honor individuals. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill primarily affects the Haverstraw community and honors Paul Piperato, though the official summary doesn't specify why he is being honored. All residents and businesses using that post office location would see the new name on the building.

The bill was introduced by Republican Representative Michael Lawler of New York's 17th Congressional District. **Current Status** The bill has already passed the House of Representatives. Like most naming bills that pass one chamber, it would need to pass the Senate and receive the President's signature to become law, though such commemorative bills typically face minimal opposition.
