Congressman Jake LaTurner (R-KS) introduced H.R. 9839, the USPS Serves Us Act on September 25, which makes needed updates and reforms to the postal regulatory process by empowering the Postal Regulatory Commission with a clear mandate to hold the USPS accountable for efficiency and service performance. It also reduces rate authority and removes the 2% underwater surcharge. Please see the bill co-sponsor memo, summary, and legislation. The Alliance has worked closely with a stakeholder coalition on this comprehensive language.
