HR2466-119

What This Bill Does

This bill renames a specific U.S. Postal Service facility in Rockford, Illinois. The postal facility at 5225 Harrison Avenue would be known and designated as the Jay P. Larson Post Office Building. The bill also applies the usual federal-reference rule, so any law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other U.S. record that refers to the 5225 Harrison Avenue facility is deemed to refer to the Jay P. Larson Post Office Building. It does not create a new postal program or change mail service, but it does require the federal naming and recordkeeping system to recognize the commemorative designation.

Who Benefits and How

Jay P. Larson's family, Rockford residents, local veterans or civic groups associated with Larson's service, customers of the Harrison Avenue postal facility, Illinois commemorative sponsors, USPS community-relations staff, and local history organizations benefit because the facility's official federal name becomes a permanent public recognition of Larson at a daily-use post office.

Who Bears the Burden and How

United States Postal Service facilities staff, USPS records offices, postal signage vendors, federal map publishers, regulation editors, local postal managers in Rockford, and federal taxpayers bear modest administrative burdens because signage, facility records, maps, documents, and public-facing references must be updated to use the Jay P. Larson Post Office Building name.

Key Provisions

• Provides the Jay P. Larson Post Office Building designation for the USPS facility at 5225 Harrison Avenue in Rockford, Illinois.
• Requires all references in federal laws, maps, regulations, documents, papers, and records to refer to the new facility name.
• Limits the bill to an official federal facility designation without changing postal service operations.
