Purpose

This bill (H.R. 8359) aims to update the address of a U.S. Postal Service facility named in honor of Specialist Jeffrey L. White, Jr., a military service member, by changing a specific address identifier from "324" to "211."

Key Provisions

• Redesignation: Amends Section 1(a) of Public Law 115-134 (a prior law designating the facility) by replacing "324" with "211."
• References: Declares that any mention of the facility in U.S. laws, maps, regulations, documents, or records now refers to it as the "Specialist Jeffrey L. White, Jr. Post Office."

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• Directly modifies Public Law 115-134, which originally designated the facility at the "324" address.
• Ensures consistency in official references without altering the facility's name or honorary status.

Potential Impacts

• Government Agencies: The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) may need to update signage, records, and maps at minimal cost.
• Citizens: Local residents and mail users at the facility will have the correct address reflected officially, potentially avoiding confusion.
• No impacts on international relations.

Main Stakeholders Affected

• U.S. Postal Service (USPS), responsible for facility operations and updates.
• Family, friends, and community honoring Specialist Jeffrey L. White, Jr.
• Local residents and businesses using the post office.

Notable Legal, Constitutional, or Political Implications

• None significant; this is a routine, non-controversial administrative update to a naming law.
• Reinforces congressional authority over federal facility designations under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution (post office powers).
