Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill prevents the U.S. Postal Service from changing its current mail handling rules for absentee and mail-in ballots between when the law passes and January 3, 2027. The legislation freezes USPS regulations at their existing level, blocking any new rules that would add requirements for people sending or receiving ballots by mail or that would otherwise alter how ballot mail is currently handled. The bill affects voters who use mail-in or absentee voting and impacts USPS operations during this specific time window. No specific funding is authorized in the text, and the restriction applies only to a roughly six-month period ending with the start of the new congressional session in early 2027.
