Committee
Latest Action · June 18, 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The Easy Access to Mail Act restricts the U.S. Postal Service's ability to require centralized mail delivery, where multiple mailboxes are grouped at a single location rather than at individual homes. The bill prohibits the Postal Service from switching existing single-family homes or townhouses from direct delivery to centralized delivery, and requires local government approval before implementing centralized delivery in new housing developments. For any approved centralized delivery in new developments, the local postmaster must provide residents and other stakeholders with at least 60 days' notice and opportunity to comment. Additionally, the bill directs the Postal Regulatory Commission to monitor whether the Postal Service changes any existing policies in ways that would harm rural, lower-income, elderly, disabled, or minority communities. The legislation contains no specific funding or implementation timeline beyond the notice and comment requirements.
