The Postal Service’s best shot at a long-term legislative reform in recent years is finally moving ahead in Congress next week.
The House expects to vote on the Postal Service Reform Act next week. The House Oversight and Reform Committee approved the legislation last May.
The bill, if passed, would be the first major piece of postal reform legislation to make it through Congress in more than 15 years, and would address issues that stem from the last reform effort in 2006.
The legislation, like many other similar bills introduced in recent years, would primarily eliminate the USPS requirement to pre-fund retiree health benefits well into the future.
