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

# Summary of S 3176 **What the Bill Does** This bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to assign unique ZIP codes to specific communities in Oklahoma. Currently, some of these communities likely share ZIP codes with other areas, which can complicate mail delivery, emergency services, and local identification. By giving each community its own distinct ZIP code, the bill aims to improve postal efficiency and community distinction. **Who It Affects** The bill directly affects residents and businesses in certain Oklahoma communities that would receive new or separate ZIP codes.

It also impacts the U.S. Postal Service, which would need to implement these changes. Indirectly, it may affect emergency services and government agencies that rely on accurate ZIP code designations. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Senator James Lankford (R-OK) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. Bills at this stage may be amended, passed, or remain inactive depending on committee priorities.
