H.R. 10191: To require curbside delivery of mail at certain housing developments, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail to the curb at certain small housing developments, instead of changing those homes to another form of delivery.

What the bill would do

• It would require the Postal Service to provide curbside mail delivery to residents of qualifying housing developments.
• It would also prohibit the Postal Service from spending funds to stop or reduce curbside delivery at those developments.

Which housing developments are covered

The bill defines a covered “housing development” as a group of 50 or fewer single-family homes in a subdivision, neighborhood, or similar grouping, as determined by the Postal Service, that is located within 300 yards of another residence that already receives curbside delivery.

Practical effect

In simple terms, the bill would make it harder for the Postal Service to switch certain small clusters of homes away from curbside mail delivery. If those homes meet the bill’s definition, the Postal Service would be required to keep delivering mail to the curb rather than using another delivery method.
