119th (2025–2027)
H.R. 1580
H.R. 1580 would require that all mail solicitations for goods or services be clearly marked on the front with the words "This is a solicitation" in conspicuous, legible type that contrasts visibly with other text on the envelope. The bill amends federal postal law to make unmarked solicitations non-mailable, meaning the Postal Service would not deliver them unless they comply with the labeling requirement. The legislation would affect businesses, nonprofits, and organizations that send mail solicitations to consumers. The bill includes an exception for certain types of mail defined in existing postal law and allows the Postal Service to prescribe alternative wording and specific regulations for how the notice must appear. There is no specific funding authorization or implementation timeline mentioned in the bill text.
