H.R. 1760, the "Upholding a Secure Postal System Act," requires the federal government's top auditor—the Comptroller General—to investigate and report annually to Congress on mail theft, postal property damage and theft, employee misconduct, and other crimes affecting the U.S. Postal Service. The bill applies to all postal operations nationwide and calls for reports beginning one year after the law's enactment and continuing for five years total. Each report must describe the Postal Service's current security measures and offer recommendations for Congress and the agency to reduce violations. The Comptroller General will work with the Postal Service's Inspector General and Postal Inspection Service during these investigations, and the reports will go to the House Oversight Committee and Senate Homeland Security Committee. The bill carries no specific funding authorization in the text provided.
