CIPZIP Act of 2025
Summary
What This Bill Does
Creates a USPS pilot program that lets state, local, and Tribal governments defray the net costs of requested ZIP Code boundary changes or realignments.
Who Benefits and How
State, local, and Tribal governments could gain a path to obtain ZIP Code boundary changes when Postal Service cost is the main obstacle.
Who Bears the Burden and How
USPS would have to run the pilot, disclose cost estimates, consider proposed agreements, and grant requests when the requester covers the net cost and cost is the only barrier.
Key Provisions
- Creates a pilot allowing USPS to accept money, property, or services to offset ZIP Code boundary change costs.
- Requires USPS to notify requesters of the pilot and provide cost estimates when cost drives a denial.
- Requires the Postal Regulatory Commission to report annually on the pilot.
