Summary
What This Bill Does
Directs the United States Postal Service to assign a single, unique ZIP Code within 270 days to each named community listed in the Act across multiple states.

Key Provisions
- Requires the Postal Service within 270 days to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for each community specifically named in the Act.
