Early Bills in the 116th Congress (Posted Jan. 17, 2019)
Early in the 116th Congress, the House and the Senate introduced a number of postal related bills and resolutions that impact the U.S. Postal Service and NAPS members.
First, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) re-introduced bipartisan legislation from the previous Congress that would provide Merit System Protection Board appeal rights to EAS level postal employee presently not afforded that right. The new bill, H.R. 597, carries the original cosponsorship of Rep. David McKinley (R-WV).
Second, three bills were introduced that would encourage certain aspects of vote-by-mail. Rep. John Sarbanes introduced H.R. 1, broad legislation that aims to increase voter participation in elections, reduce the influence of "big money" in politics, and strengthen the ethical rules for elected leaders. Amongst the bill's provisions is a section to promote vote-by-mail, emphasizing the expansion of "no excuse absentee ballots." Two other bills, S. 26 and H.R. 92, introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) respectivley, would also enourage states to adopt vote-by-mail elections.
Third, the new chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Service and General Government, Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL), introduced H.R. 264, legislation to, among other things, fund the Postal Regulatory Commission. The partial government shutdown forced the PRC to suspend operations on January 11, 2019.
Finally, three non-binding House Resolutions were introduced that express the "Sense of the House of Representatives" to either protect a variety of USPS services. H.Res. 23, introduced by Rep. Susan Davis (D-CA), expresses House support for the continuation of door mail delivery to business and residential. H.Res. 33, introduced by Rep. Steve Lynch (D-MA), indicates House opposition to postal privatization. H.Res. 54, introduced by Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA), indicates House support for the continuation of 6-day mail delivery.
Thus far, comprehensive postal reform legislation has not been introduced.
NAPS is diligently preparing for the upcoming Legistiave Training Seminar (March 10-13) where our members will be advancing legislation that benefit the USPS and NAPS members. Please plan to attend.
