A bill to direct the United States Postal Service to designate single, unique ZIP Codes for certain communities, and for other purposes.

# Summary of S 2961 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to assign single, unique ZIP codes to certain communities. Currently, some areas share ZIP codes with neighboring communities, which can create confusion for mail delivery, emergency services, and business operations. The bill aims to give these communities their own distinct ZIP codes for clearer identification and routing. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects communities that currently share ZIP codes with other areas.

It could benefit residents, businesses, and local governments in those communities by improving mail delivery accuracy and potentially enhancing emergency response coordination. The Postal Service would need to implement these changes. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full Senate vote. At this stage, the bill is under review and has not been scheduled for further action.
