Curbside Mail Delivery Requirement

Full Title:
To require curbside delivery of mail at certain housing developments, and for other purposes.

Summary#

This bill requires the United States Postal Service (USPS) to provide curbside mail delivery to residents of any "housing development" as defined in the bill. The USPS may not obligate or expend funds to cease or otherwise limit curbside delivery at such a development. The bill defines "housing development" as a cluster of 50 or fewer single-family homes in a subdivision, neighborhood, or similar grouping that is within 300 yards of any other residence that receives curbside delivery. The bill was introduced by Representative Timothy Kennedy and was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on August 31, 2026.

What it means for you#

If you live in a cluster of up to 50 single-family homes that is within 300 yards of a home that already gets curbside delivery, the USPS must provide curbside mail delivery to your development and may not spend funds to stop or limit that service. If you do not meet the bill's definition of a covered development, the bill does not require curbside service for your location. No publicly available information on other effects.

Expenses#

The bill explicitly prohibits the USPS from obligating or spending funds to cease or limit curbside delivery at covered developments. The bill text does not provide any estimates of costs, savings, or other budgetary effects. No publicly available information on expected expenses or fiscal impact.
